Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New research and developments in the field of textile functional materials (fibres, yarns, woven, nonwoven and knitted fabrics, and composites), made of natural and synthetic polymers, as well as functional polymers and biopolymers, are applicable in the field of technical textiles.
This Special Issue, "Advances of Multifunctional Technical Textile Materials from Natural, Synthetic, Bio and Functional Polymers”, aims to provide a comprehensive collection of high-quality original scientific research and reviews.
It implies the design, synthesis, technologies, analysis, and practical application of various multifunctional textile material structures using different raw materials and finishing processes which provide relevant application properties.
It is necessary to highlight the importance of using natural and renewable resources, with the main goal of transitioning from the existing linear to a circular economy, in the form of sustainable resource management.
Research in this direction contributes to strengthening the innovativeness of society through investment in the necessary R&D capacities, including the use of knowledge and technology transfer.

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.
