Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced composite materials are commonly used in many fields due to their excellent properties, such as being lightweight and having excellent mechanical strength. Manufacturing processes play an important role in the performance and cost of composite structures. Traditional autoclave forming processes have defects such as high cost, low efficiency, and limited forming shape. New additive technologies liberate thermoforming process constraints but usually have low mechanical strength. Novel manufacturing processes for composites are needed to improve both performance and efficiency.
This Special Issue on “Advanced Manufacturing Processes of Composite Materials” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest manufacturing processes for composites. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Hot-press molding processes;
- Additive manufacturing of composites;
- Process simulation and optimization;
- Integrated design of composites, structures, and processes.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
