Carbon Fiber - Polymer Composites：Processing, Structure and Properties
This special issue belongs to the section "Polymer Fibers".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon fiber composites have the advantages of light weight, high strength, high elastic modulus, and high temperature strength in an inert atmosphere. They play crucial roles in the diverse fields of aerospace, automotive, medical devices, civil engineering, etc. For these reasons, research on new processing methods, structures, and their properties for obtaining composite materials with novel properties and applications is a hot topic that is rapidly evolving in polymer. This Special Issue is devoted to the most recent research on these topics, covering all aspects concerning processing, structure, and properties of carbon fiber-polymer composites.

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. 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.
