Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, research on polymer science and technology has successfully developed a variety of fiber-reinforced polymer composites focusing on current topics of interest. The performance of composite materials that can withstand extreme environments, such as space, the deep sea, and the polar regions beyond the laboratory, is dazzling. In particular, the discovery and application of composite materials that enable new growth engines such as e-mobility are highly practical and important. In this Special Issue, we discuss the state-of-the-art technologies and methods for these materials. We highlight new developments and applications in structural or functional materials and their composites. We welcome in-depth and comprehensive research into the physicochemical and mechanistic fundamentals relevant to this field.

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.
