Fiber Forming Polymers

Dear Colleagues,

Fiber forming polymers are linear macromolecules that are usually suitable for making man-made fibers. However, non-flammable Basofil fiber is an exception because it is cross-linked. Depending on the molecular polymer structure and production method, these fibers can be soft, highly elastic or super strong. A review of this technology should be interesting.

The objective of this Special Issue is to focus on M5, PTT, and other newer polymers, as well as on new processes, such the hIB process, centrifugal spinning or melt electrospinning for fiber forming polymers. We shall also accept papers on fiber-based blends of cellulose and proteins. Original research and review papers are invited for this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Fibers 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 2000 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.
