Advances in Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fiber‑reinforced composites are widely used in structural and functional applications due to their enhanced strength, toughness, and durability. This Special Issue, “Advances in Fiber‑Reinforced Composites,” focuses on recent developments in the design, processing, and performance of composite materials reinforced with synthetic, natural, or hybrid fibers.

Topics of interest include mechanical and fracture behavior, durability, damage and failure mechanisms, innovative manufacturing techniques, and multiscale experimental and numerical studies. Contributions on sustainable, recycled, or low‑carbon composite systems, as well as smart and multifunctional composites, are particularly encouraged. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for sharing emerging research and practical advances that support the next generation of fiber‑reinforced composites.

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.
