Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for this Special Issue, "AI-Enabled Innovation in Advanced Composite Materials and Structures”, which will showcase cutting-edge research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, advanced materials, and structural and material engineering. We invite original contributions that explore the transformative role of AI, machine learning, and data-driven approaches in the design, optimization, characterization, health monitoring, and lifecycle management of next-generation composite materials and structures.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: AI-driven material discovery, predictive modeling of composite material properties, intelligent design of multifunctional structures and metamaterials, machine learning for the structural health monitoring of advanced composite structures, and the application of digital twins for life-cycle management.
This issue will highlight breakthroughs that are offering novel solutions to complex engineering challenges and shaping the future of the field. We welcome submissions from researchers and practitioners dedicated to pioneering the next wave of intelligent engineering systems built upon advanced composite materials and structures. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome.
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. 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.
