Functional Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Dear Colleagues, 

Functional fiber-reinforced composites are a relatively new class of chemically resistant, high-performance, high-functionalization and lightweight composite materials. Over the past decade, this class of materials has always been a topic of significant interest, and they are widely applied in various fields: aircraft, automotive, construction, energy, and many others. In this Special Issue, we are collecting the most interesting results in this area. A wide range of topics will be considered. We welcome the submission of articles considering any of the following: properties of functional reinforcing fibers, advanced fiber preparation, functionally modified fiber-reinforced composites, formation of functional composite materials, application of functional fiber-reinforced composites, and the properties of functional composite materials themselves.
