Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional polymers and composites are gradually expanding their position as a connected stream in both academic and industrial fields. They are capable of manufacturing multifunctional and multi-end-use products for specific purposes using various raw materials, such as industrial and advanced materials, and manufacturing processes.
In particular, when using specific materials to impart various functionalities, it is possible to establish a fundamental theoretical infrastructure applicable to the fields of biology, medicine, environment, and transportation. This enables the implementation of eco-friendly and sustainable applications through carbon dioxide reduction technology. This Special Issue will cover functional polymers and composites, starting from raw materials and extending to processes and allied applications, including:
- Materials for functional polymers and composites;
- Sustainable polymer materials and composites;
- Processes and devices for polymer composite manufacturing;
- Functional polymer finishing and treatments;
- Properties of functional polymers and composites;
- Application to engineering fields.

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.
