Advanced Composites Processing and Manufacturing

Dear Colleagues,

Composite materials are well known for their extraordinary characteristics in terms of specific performances. Due to their low density and high mechanical properties, these materials have gained interest in several industraial sectors. For this reason, industrial interest is strongly pushing scientific research in this area.

This Special Issue aims to present the latest developments related to advanced manufacturing and fabrication technologies of composite materials. The interest is not limited only to composite manufacturing processes, but also includes original articles with research topics related to materials, technologies and processes that lead to improving design and production of composite materials in the aerospace, energy, automotive, motorsport, biomedical and healthcare sectors. Studies on economic and environmental sustainability of innovative technological processes for composite parts are also of interest.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
