Advanced Polymeric Composites and Hybrid Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Composite materials are widely used in various areas of science. The use of composite materials has seen a significant increase and application in various sectors. Accelerating the progress in materials science and engineering has necessitated a nexus for the study and development of composites and hybrid materials at the nanoscale. Polymer composites have gained popularity in a number of different industries as a result of the rising need for high-performance materials and structures. Aerospace, automotive, and infrastructure industries are all being challenged by the rising demand for greener and smarter structures, which necessitates the development of novel engineering technologies, digitalization, and materials with diverse capacities.

This Special Issue focuses on the investigation of revolutionary new composite material formulations, special treatments, recyclability, intelligent features, engineering phenomena, and novel manufacturing concepts that are ushering in new composite material trends in the aerospace, automotive, and all engineering sectors.

In this Special Issue of Advanced Polymeric Composites and Hybrid Materials, we would like to invite authors to submit original papers and reviews on the topic to disseminate findings from studies conducted on materials, including ceramics, glasses, polymers (plastics), composites, semiconductors, magnetic materials, biological and biomimetic materials, silica, carbon, and dot materials. Both academic and industry researchers are encouraged to submit their findings and new developments in this area for publication. Research works that focus on progressive materials and technologies, new characterization techniques to study the relationship between microstructure and structural properties, and also physical and numerical simulation studies are especially encouraged.

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. Journal of Composites Science 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 1800 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.
