Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing utilization of natural or recyclable fiber-based composites across diverse industries, coupled with the demand for high-performance fiber-reinforced resin composites, underscores the ongoing quest for advanced materials with enhanced properties. This demand extends across a wide spectrum of industrial sectors, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, and construction, highlighting the multifaceted applications of these innovative materials. Consequently, research efforts aimed at optimizing mechanical attributes and developing novel applications for these composites remain critical in meeting evolving industry requirements and advancing sustainability goals.
Therefore, as Guest Editor of the Special Issue entitled “Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites”, which will be published by Polymers this year, I invite you to submit a paper covering your recent research results on fibrous composite(s) with polymer matrix(es), taking into account your known expertise in the field of composite materials, proven by your various publications in this research area.
Polymers is one of MDPI's open access journals (ISSN 2073-4360; IF:5.0; ranking 16/90 (Q1) in Polymer Science, indexed in Web of Science), whose article processing charge (APC) for each accepted paper is CHF 2700, which includes the English editing service.
For any questions regarding technical issues or the journal itself, please contact Ms. Andreea Tigau at [email protected], the Special Issue Editor of Polymers.
I hope that you will find this topic interesting, and I look forward to potentially collaborating with you in the near future.
Best regards,
Prof. Dr. Bernardo Zuccarello
Guest Editor
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.
