Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Composites made from Textile-Based Materials and Polymer Composites are a crucial and highly adaptable category of materials widely utilized in numerous fields. Their flexibility and the range of criteria for classification enable the creation of tailored solutions to address distinct requirements in sectors such as civil engineering, aerospace, automotive, and marine, among others. The distinguishing characteristics of Textile-Based Materials and Polymer Composites include the type of reinforcing fiber used, the composition of the matrix material, the employed manufacturing process, the orientation of the fibers, and the specific end-use application. These classification variables offer engineers a versatile structure to determine and select the most appropriate materials and production techniques for their specific needs.
The aim of this Special Issue is to centralize information on the latest advancements regarding the evaluation and utilization of Textile-Based Materials and Polymer Coatings:
- Mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of the Textile-Based Materials and Polymer Composites (mechanical Strength; durability; lightweight; flexibility; chemical resistance; thermal stability; corrosion resistance).
- Comprehensive overview of a corrosion assessment of Textile-Based Materials and Polymer Composites.
- Computational analysis, numerical simulation, etc., regarding the adhesion of the Textile-Based Materials and Polymer Composites.
- Experimental tests regarding the operational usage modes of the Textile-Based Materials and Polymer Composites.
- The assessment of Textile-Based Materials’ and Polymer Composites’ in-service behavior using the finite element method.

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. Coatings 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 2600 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.
