Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-performance polymers and their composite materials play a crucial role in a wide range of industrial applications, including aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors, due to their exceptional mechanical properties, thermal stability, and lightweight characteristics.
The Special Issue presents cutting-edge research on innovative manufacturing techniques, such as advanced molding, additive manufacturing, and hybrid processes, all designed to enhance material performance and production efficiency. Additionally, it explores state-of-the-art numerical simulations that model the behavior of these complex materials under various processing conditions, offering valuable insights into process optimization and the design of new materials with tailored properties. The contributions also examine the integration of process optimization strategies, leveraging data-driven approaches and machine learning techniques to streamline production, reduce waste, and minimize energy consumption. Any reports and reviews covering the aspect of manufacturing techniques and multiscale modeling and simulations are welcomed, using methods including but not limited to the above-mentioned methods.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
