Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer composites are the multi-phase materials which are used in many fields of science and economy. They are mostly used in medical applications and in automobile industry. However, polymer composites are more and more often noticed by constructors and civil engineers. They are readily used in bridge structures, but also in construction include areas such as flooring, windows, cladding, rainwater, pipes, membranes, seals, glazing, insulation and signage. All these applications can affect not only the durability of the structure or its reliability, but also the comfort of people in their houses, on footbridges etc.
The proposed special issue is intended for both constructors and scientists involved in material research, but also for those whose main interest is the broadly understood sustainable development. that's why I invite all civil engineers to submit their manuscripts, which will include the innovative use of polymers composites, whether in the material or in the construction, or their impact on human comfort or environmental protection will be tested.

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.
