Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced composites have many advantages, such as a high specific strength, high specific modulus, fatigue resistance, light weight, corrosion resistance, strong design, etc. They have been widely investigated and applied in the aerospace field. The amount of composite materials used has become an important indicator for evaluating the advanced nature of aircraft or spacecraft. Composite materials and structures are formed simultaneously, which requires designers to have sufficient understanding of materials, preparation technology, mechanics, etc. Only in this way can we fully explore the potential of composite materials through an appropriate design. The extreme demands in the field of aerospace engineering create new challenges that are good opportunities for the development of advanced composite technology.
This Special Issue is on advanced composite design and manufacturing technology for aerospace engineering, with a main focus on materials, mechanics, manufacturing technology, test characterization, advanced equipment, engineering applications, etc. We encourage submissions of original research papers, short communications and review articles. This Special Issue will report on the latest progress regarding advanced composite technology in the aerospace field.
Potential topics for submissions include, but are not limited to:
- Material design, such as fiber, resin, interfaces, functional materials, etc.;
- Mechanical design, such as constitutive modeling, multiscale modeling, stiffness, static strength, fatigue, buckling stability, progressive damage behavior, etc.;
- Manufacturing technology, such as autoclave, RTM, additive manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, etc.;
- Advanced equipment, such as automatic molding, additive manufacturing, test characterization, nondestructive testing, etc.;
- Engineering applications, such as composite products, high-performance materials, design and evaluation methods, etc.

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. 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.
