Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Epoxy resin has been applied in aerospace, automotive, energy, adhesives, electronics, coatings, etc., thanks to its versatile properties. Recently, there has been an ever-increasing demand for advanced epoxy resin systems with well-defined structures and desirable properties for adaptation to the newer requirements of different industries. The properties of epoxy end-use products are closely associated with the structure of the growing network. It is important to obtain a complete mechanism and accurate kinetic model with predictive capabilities. Suitable modifiers and optimized curing processes play vital roles in developing high-performance epoxy-based composites. Recent advances in molecular simulation and chemical calculation have revolutionized the way that we perceive the synthesis and performance of epoxy resins.
This Special Issue, titled “Epoxy Resin Synthesis, Performance and Application Research: Second Edition”, welcomes original research and reviews on the following: (1) novel technologies and approaches for the synthesis and characterization of epoxy resin systems; (2) advanced hardeners, modifiers, and accelerators for high-performance epoxy-based composites; (3) curing kinetics and mechanism analysis of various epoxy/curing agent systems combined with molecular simulation and chemical calculation methods; (4) the optimization of resin curing, infusion, and impregnation processes; and (5) epoxy-based composites and their applications.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
