Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based carbon fiber composites are composites made by combining carbon fiber with resins such as vinyl ester or epoxy. Polymer-based carbon fiber composites are not only lightweight and help conserve energy, but are also used in alternative energy sectors such as natural gas and hydrogen tanks, wind turbine blades and other applications in the renewable energy sector. Polymer-based carbon fiber materials are prized for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, stiffness and durability. Currently, transportation, consumer, healthcare, energy, infrastructure and construction are among the industries benefiting from the advantages of polymer-based carbon fiber composites. Superior strength, low weight, corrosion resistance and the ability to adhere to concrete make polymer-based carbon fiber composites an excellent material for infrastructure applications requiring strength and durability. This Special Issue aims to collect articles related to the research on polymer-based carbon fiber composite materials, and scholars are welcome to contribute.

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.
