Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, it is difficult to find a new field of application where textiles are not present. From medical patches or the support for drug delivery in surgical interventions to the basic structure made of carbon fibers in different composite materials used in the Aeronautics industry, textiles are part of various new structures developed.
New instrumental techniques have opened the door to discrimination, at micro and nano scale, of the elucidation of complex mechanisms where textiles are involved and play a very important role in the development of new paradigms related to this industrial field.
Some well-known fibers can be functionalized using enzymes, gels or other chemical structures to improve their properties or to act as new structures with different properties expected from their chemical constitution.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to make a recompilation of the new types of processes and applications in which textile substrates are included. The contents of this Issue will show how textile substrates can be treated as a horizontal topic in which several difficult and complex effects should be taken into account.
- Functionalization of fibers;
- Microcapsules applied to textile substrates;
- New molecules incorporated to textiles for different uses;
- Supercritical application to textiles;
- New desizing processes;
- Composite textile-based materials;
- Biotechnology applied to textile processes;
- Reuse of textile substrates.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
