Structural and Mechanical Properties of Polyethylene Fibers

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue on Structural and Mechanical Properties of Polyethylene Fibers aims to bring together researchers from universities, research institutes, and industry to present state-of-the-art studies on the processing, structure, and performance of polyethylene-based materials. Polyethylene (PE) has always been of great interest because it is one of the most important basic polymers for scientific research and technological development. Its low density combined with high tensile strength makes PE fibers highly attractive as reinforcements, offering unique structural and mechanical characteristics.

This Special Issue encourages contributions on the relationship between polymer processing, fiber structure, and the resulting mechanical properties.

Both experimental and theoretical studies are welcome, especially those that link processing conditions, microstructural evolution, and mechanical performance. This Special Issue aims to advance the understanding of the fundamental characteristics of polyethylene fibers and to promote further progress in the field of high-performance polymer materials.

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.
