Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in polymer composites used for civil engineering applications. Polymer-based materials have gained increasing attention due to their beneficial properties such as their high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, corrosion resistance, and versatility in structural and non-structural applications. This Issue welcomes original research and review articles focusing on polymer-modified cementitious materials, fiber-reinforced polymer composites, repair and strengthening systems, sustainable composite materials, durability performance, and innovative applications in buildings and infrastructure. Contributions addressing experimental, analytical, and numerical investigations are particularly encouraged. This Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and engineers working on advanced polymer composite technologies to develop safer, more durable, and more sustainable civil engineering structures.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
