Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The methodology of fiber reinforcement is widely used to improve the physical, mechanical, chemical, structural, environmental, and other properties of general materials in engineering science for different applications; the polymer inclusion technique is also used to develop new composite materials.
This Special Issue of the open access journal Polymers aims to collect original research papers and reviews on the topic of “Advances in Composite Materials: Polymers and Fibers Inclusion”, comprising novel approaches, new methods, related concepts, solutions from renewable resources, alternatives to achieve superior performance and lower costs, and the development of new fiber and polymer composites, as well as mechanisms, applications, and technologies related to this theme in engineering science.

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.
