Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing, makes it possible to accelerate product prototyping and fabricate 3D parts with complex structures. Three-dimensional printing technology has been developed quickly in recent years. Three-dimensional printing provides a new fabrication method for functional polymer matrix composites. This Special Issue of Polymers is dedicated to “Physicomechanical Properties and Application of 3D-Printed Functional Polymer Matrix Composites”. The topics of interest in this Special Issue include but are not limited to novel functional polymer matrix composites prepared by 3D printing; the effects of printing parameters on the physicomechanical properties of 3D-printed functional polymer composites; mechanical, thermal, dynamic thermal, electrical, flame-retardant, biodegradable, and other properties of 3D-printed functional polymer matrix composites; the relationship between the structures and properties of 3D-printed functional polymer composites; engineering applications and case studies of 3D-printed functional polymer matrix composites; and the theoretical simulation of the structure of 3D-printed functional polymer matrix 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 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.
