Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based composites are increasingly welcomed in the lightweight design of new-generation mechanized equipment for their high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent mechanical properties. Studies on the nouveau assessment and the recent application of polymer composites have attracted the attention of researchers in multi-domains.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest original results (experimental and numerical) in the assessment and new application of polymer composites in industrial fields, including design, service testing, damage evaluation, and repair. Original articles, comprehensive reviews, and communications of cutting-edge polymer composite technology are all acceptable. Non-exclusive topics include:
- numerical and experimental study of polymer composite mechanical behaviours;
- study on carbon fibre-reinforced polymer composites for multifunctional applications;
- research and design of self-healing polymers composites;
- numerical and experimental investigation on repairing polymer composite;
- non-destructive testing of polymer composites;
- study on polymer composite joint;
- thermal shock response of polymer composite;
- hygrothermal aging effect of function polymer composite;
- study on polymer composite-based lightweight design.

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.
