Advances in Experimental Investigation and Computational Modeling of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers and Composites—Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, fiber-reinforced polymers and composites have garnered significant attention in various areas, including automotive, marine, aerospace, and construction applications. This Special Issue of Materials is dedicated to showcasing the recent advances in the experimental investigation and computational modeling of fiber-reinforced polymers and composites. We welcome the submission of papers addressing cutting-edge issues in the research and application of polymers and composites containing internal fibers, as well as their various applications. The topics included in this Special Issue include but are not limited to the mechanical, durability, thermal, fire microstructural, and long-term properties of composites manufactured using different types of internal fibers (including recycled, natural, and synthetic fibers) and nanomaterials. Both original contributions and reviews will be accepted.

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.
