Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is widely used in structural repair and reinforcement as a construction material due to its advantageous properties such as its light weight, corrosion resistance, good flexibility, high tensile strength, environment-friendly, etc. This special issue deals with various aspects of FRP as a construction and strengthening material, including the use of polymer composites in civil engineering, material science, and hydraulic engineering. The range of potential topics includes the polymer composition, mechanical and micro-strengthening mechanisms, durability, and long-term performance characterization of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, as well as the use of fibers to toughen and strengthen cement-based composites, concrete, recycled concrete, high arch dam concrete, geopolymer concrete, etc. In addition, the multi-scale research, meso-numerical simulation, novel reinforcement and repair methods, and applications in practical engineering of fiber-reinforced polymer composites are other potential topics. This issue also accepts state-of-the-art reviews on fiber-reinforced polymer composites in construction materials.

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.
