Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced fiber composites is one of fastest growing fields in material science, perfectly aligning with emerging trends in aerospace engineering, artificial intelligence, carbon neutralization, sustainable development, wearable electronics, healthcare and medical products, and smart textiles. Although considerable progress has been made in this area, there are still major challenges in achieving greater multifunctionality, intelligence, comfort, safety, and sustainability.
This Special Issue, titled “Advanced Fiber Composite Materials: Preparation, Properties and Applications”, seeks high-quality research articles and reviews focusing on the latest developments in fiber composite science and technologies for emerging applications. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design and synthesis of novel polymers for fibers;
- Multifunctional fibers and composites;
- Nanotechnologies and nanofibers;
- Sustainable and eco-friendly fibers;
- Green and advanced manufacturing of fiber composites;
- Recycling and utilization of fiber/textile wastes;
- Fibers for environmental, energy, and healthcare applications;
- Fiber-based sensors, actuators, and displays;
- Design, fabrication, and application of fiber composites;
- Intelligent wearable system integration;
- Biomaterial-based fibers for medical and healthcare applications;
- Artificial intelligence applications in fiber composites.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
