Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the cutting-edge advancements, innovative applications, and future prospects of fiber-reinforced polymeric composites (FRPCs). FRPCs are a class of materials that combine the high strength and stiffness of fibers with the versatility and durability of polymer matrices, resulting in lightweight, high-performance materials that are revolutionizing industries ranging from aerospace and automotives to construction and renewable energy.
The Special Issue brings together a collection of peer-reviewed research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore the latest developments in the design, fabrication, characterization, and application of FRPCs. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Characterization and experimental testing of FRPCs;
- Manufacturing technology and applications of FRPCs;
- Modification of interface, fibers, or matrix systems;
- Modeling, simulation, and design of FRPCs;
- Recycling and sustainability;
- Smart and self-healing composites.
The Special Issue welcomes high-quality original research papers and review articles from contributors worldwide, focusing on advancements that will help fully exploit the potential of fiber-reinforced polymeric composites in various 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. Polymers 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.
