Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials have emerged as a vital class of composites due to their exceptional mechanical properties and versatile applications. Comprising a matrix reinforced with high-strength fibers such as carbon, glass, or aramid, synergistic interaction of the reinforcing fibers and the polymer matrix allows them to interact at the interface and achieve the most efficient load transfer possible. Fiber-reinforced polymers are widely used in industries in the form of aerospace and automotive to civil engineering and marine applications. This is due to their excellent non-conductive and non-corrosive properties, as well as their enhanced mechanical properties, such as high durability, stiffness, damping properties, flexural strength, etc.
Thus, the main objective of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for scholars and researchers worldwide to publish their work on the properties, applications and numerical simulation of FRP composites.

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.
