Failure Mechanism of Eco-Polymeric composites

Dear colleagues,

In the recent years, there is high demand to implement eco-polymeric composites in various industries. However, there are many limitations preventing the industries in adopting such materials and one of them is the lack of understanding to the failure mechanism of these new materials. Failure mechanism is one of the key factors in materials selection for machine/components’ design and applications. This special issue would cover the failure mechanism of different newly developed eco-polymeric composites under different loading conditions, i.e. mechanical, physical, environmental …etc., which would assist academic, environment, and industrial sectors.

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-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.
