Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, polymer composites materials from different synthetic and natural resources have attracted the considerable attraction of research communities, all around the globe, owing to their unique intrinsic properties, such as flexibility, low cost, easy processing and impressive physico-mechanical properties in comparison to their metallic/ ceramic counterparts. A variety of polymer composite materials have been developed using various strategies. Seeing the immense advantages of polymer composites, this special issue focuses on the manufacturing and the processing polymer composite materials.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing invites innovative contributions in terms of research articles, reviews, communications, and letters from around the globe. Potential topics include, but are not limited to polymer composites; polymer nanocomposites; polymer synthesis, structural design and novel processing of polymer composites; modelling and simulation of polymer composite materials; design for manufacture of composite materials; properties and characterization of composite materials and their applications.

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 Manufacturing and Materials Processing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
