Advanced Composite Materials

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This is a call for papers on the topic “Advanced Composite Materials”. Composites represent an attractive, peculiar and varied group of materials which are the impressive result of the synergic collaboration between materials science and technology. They can not only perform multiple functions within a single structure, but they also offer an improved combination of mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, electrochemical and catalytic properties ranging from nano- to microscale and macroscale. These properties facilitate their use in many fields of application, such as chemical and strain sensing, energy harvesting and storage, actuators, switches, robots, artificial muscles, controlled drug delivery and the built environment. Furthermore, their design flexibility, durability and lightweight characteristics play a crucial role in various industries such as automotive, transportation, wind energy, aerospace and defense, providing solutions to the issue of transitioning the economy toward more sustainable materials and processes with lower environmental footprints. Finally, biobased and bio-inspired composites are considered among the most promising strategies to improve material efficiency and limit the exploitation of natural resources. This topic is an opportunity for the scientific community to present their latest research contributions in the field of Advanced Composites and their applications.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
