Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the widespread application of advanced polymer composites in aerospace, new energy vehicles, and biomedicine, the collaborative design of materials, processes, and structures has become a key pathway to improve material performance and functionality. This Special Issue aims to explore in depth the integrated research methods from microscopic material design to macroscopic structural performance, focusing on core issues, such as multi-scale modeling, intelligent fabrication processes, performance prediction, and optimization. The scope of submissions covers (but is not limited to) the following areas: constitutive models and multi-field coupling behavior of novel polymer composites; advanced molding processes such as additive manufacturing and automated fabrication; integrated structure-function design and performance verification; material design and process optimization driven by machine learning and data; and sustainability and circular design strategies for composite materials. We sincerely invite scholars, engineers, and industry experts from home and abroad to contribute original research papers, reviews, and case studies to jointly promote the innovative development of polymer composite design theory and engineering applications.

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.
