Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) have been widely used in aerospace and automotive industries, as well as other fields due to their excellent thermo-mechanical properties, and high strength-to-weight ratio. The polymer blends with fiber as additives are also included in FRP in this special issue. Synthetic fibers, chemical fibers, natural fibers, nanofibers, and other fibrous substances can be used to reinforce polymers. The polymer matrix can be thermoplastic and thermoset with different shapes according to their applications.
The Special Issue focuses on advanced fiber-reinforced polymers and advanced FRP composites. The main research includes but is not limited to the structure design and process methods of Advanced FRP, the modification of fiber and polymer materials, the bonding and debonding between fiber and polymer matrix, the simulation of dispersion, and failure of Advance FRP, and the interface and surface problems.

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.
