Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The proposed special issue is oriented to al engineers and researchers involved with marine application studies, with particular regard to composite structures for vessel, submarines, off-shore facilities and any other mobility device for application to sea and lake environments. Potential participans are kindly requested to offer their contribute, expecally for those involved with passion in this field, taking into account scientific papers purely dedicated to marine applications with aid of composites are not often present in literature with respect to aeronautical or automotive sectors. Large part of knowledge about C/G-FRP plastics is held in the maritime factories and boat designers, hence not available easily to the scientific community. Many useful information and case studies are present in the web, but not sufficiently organized in books or journals and poorly validated by proper scientific support, given that in some cases, superb studies and applications can be found. This issue would be an initial guideline for all technicians and researchers willing to work in this valuable sector, in order to enhance verified informations to be spread and discussed.

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.
