Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the help of advanced science and technology, such as polymer technology and microelectronics technology, the properties of traditional fibers are undergoing revolutionary changes: fibers are becoming thinner, more wear-resistant and more stretching-resistant, and, at the same time, they are being given electrical, optical, magnetic and information storage functions, so as to realize the fiber structure and the integration process of digital storage and data processing.
Smart fibers are fibers that can sense changes in the external environment or internal state and can respond to them. Intelligent textiles refer to a new type of textile that simulate living systems, have dual functions of perception and reaction and retain the inherent style and technical characteristics of textiles. Intelligent fibers and textiles have or have a number of the following intelligent functions and life characteristics: sensing function, feedback function, information recognition and accumulation function, response function, self-diagnosis ability, self-repair ability and adaptive ability.

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.
