Preparation and Application of Functional Fiber Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Functional fiber materials, with their distinctive linear structure, play a critical role in bridging materials science with a broad range of engineering and scientific disciplines. As technology progresses, functional fibers are advancing towards the era of next-generation fibers, characterized by smart, green, and highly interdisciplinary developments. This Special Issue, 'Preparation and Application of Functional Fiber Materials,' provides a premier platform for presenting significant experimental, theoretical, and computational research on these materials. We invite high-quality contributions covering the entire lifecycle of these materials: from novel synthesis, manufacturing, and functionalization, to comprehensive characterization and their application in the development of transformative technologies. Original research, reviews, and perspectives that report fundamental breakthroughs, introduce new material systems or processes, or expand the utility of functional fibers are encouraged to advance this dynamic and evolving 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 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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
