Advances in High-Performance Polymers and Composites
This special issue belongs to the section "Polymeric Materials".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-performance polymers and composites are known to retain their outstanding thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties even subject to harsh environmental conditions, and have found wide applications in both domestic and military fields, including automotive, electronics, sports, aerospace, and other cutting-edge technologies. This Special Issue aims to bring in a wealth of current research on high-performance polymers and composites to readers, as well as provide potential solutions to current engineering problems.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions on the design of high-performance polymer/composite structures, processing and molding, characterization, simulation, and engineering applications. The article types include both research articles and reviews.

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-anonymized 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.
