Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber-reinforced polymer materials combine the high-strength characteristics of fiber with the formability of the matrix. Owing to its advantages, such as light weight, high performance, and multi-functionality, fiber-reinforced polymer materials are widely applied in fields such as aerospace, automobiles, ships, and sports equipment. In this Special Issue, we will discuss a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the interface modification of fiber-reinforced polymer materials, advanced intelligent manufacturing methods for fiber-reinforced polymer materials, the design and forming of functional composite materials, the application of functional composite materials, and the properties of composite materials themselves. We hope that this Special Issue will contribute to the development of composite materials and thus highlight their significant potential.

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.
