Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled “Textile Materials for Civil Engineering Applications” in Textiles, an open access MDPI journal.
Textile materials play important roles in many civil engineering applications today. Even when their presence is not visible or evident, textile materials are used in structural applications, such as concrete element reinforcement, or to ensure higher soil strength in geotechnical applications. Textiles may also be present in the functional performance of buildings fields, such as acoustics, thermal performance or fire protections. Innovative and nonconventional applications for textiles in the field of civil engineering may exist, and their dissemination can contribute to their more widespread application.
The Special Issue is aimed at researchers working on fiber-based materials in any civil engineering application. Dissemination of current research topics within the civil engineering field will contribute to the development of technical knowledge and innovative ways for new textile applications. The exposure of young scientists to open access articles in this area will provide new insights for future research and innovation.
Prof. Dr. Fernando G. Branco
Guest Editor
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. Textiles is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
