Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber-reinforced composites have been widely applied as important primary load-bearing structures in many areas, such as daily mechanical equipment, and aerospace industry. In addition to the structural applications, numerous novel fiber-reinforced composites have also been intensively investigated in many advanced functional applications, including energy storage, environment, thermal management, electromagnetic shielding, and microwave absorption applications. Surface modification and interface design are important methods to further improve the properties of fiber-reinforced composites. In recent years, a large number of articles on fiber-reinforced composites have been published. We aim to summarize the recent progress of fiber reinforced composites to develop advanced applications.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute a full research paper or review article for peer-review and possible publication in the Special Issue entitled "Surface Interface Modification and Functionalization of Fiber Reinforced Composites" to be published in Coatings. Given your expertise in *fiber-reinforced composites and their applications*, I truly believe you can make an excellent contribution.
This Special Issue aims to bring together high-quality research and review articles related to recent developments in the field of surface modification and interface design of fiber-reinforced different matrix composites and their structural and functional applications.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fiber-reinforced different matrix composites;
- Surface modification and interface design;
- Structural and functional applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
