Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber-reinforced polymer materials have become the most attractive way to obtain materials with outstanding properties in all industry sectors. This is thanks to the synergy of the reinforcing fiber (natural and synthetic) and the polymer matrix (thermoplastic and thermoset), which interact at the interface toward the most efficient load transfer possible. This careful fiber–matrix formulation is expected to lead to a composite material with better mechanical properties than its plain matrix, resulting in a stronger, stiffer, and more durable composite material. This Special Issue is intended to gather original works related to experimental studies, analytical and numerical simulation of fiber reinforcing systems, as well as cases of load transfer analysis, multi-scale reinforcing systems, fiber–matrix delamination, non-destructive evaluation, fatigue, aging, among other related studies on this present topic.

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.
