Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites: Progress and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) are materials that consist of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. These composites offer a wide range of mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, making them attractive for various applications across industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and sports equipment. Over the years, significant progress has been made in the development and implementation of FRPs, and they continue to hold promising prospects.

For this Special Issue, we invite academic researchers and industrial experts to submit their research findings covering different developments in FRPs. Topics in this Special Issue will include articles related to, but not limited to, the following: (i) manufacturing techniques; (ii) fiber development; (iii) matrix materials; (iv) tailored properties; (v) light-weight structures; (vii) corrosion resistance; (viii) design flexibility; and (ix) sustainability implications.

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.
