Advanced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topic, entitled “Advanced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials”, focuses on advanced composite materials such as carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP), which have gained the attention of different industries, such as aerospace, automotive and motorsports industries, which produce lightweight and high-performance components.
Advanced composite materials, primarily governed by the properties of reinforcing fibers such as high strength and high stiffness characteristics, are characterized by their high potential in terms of stiffness/weight ratio, making them very attractive for structural applications in which low weight and high stiffness conditions have to be met.
The present Topic aims to collect contributions on the advanced carbon-fiber-reinforced composite materials, as well as to review the state-of-the-art on these materials. The manuscripts of this Issue will focus on the most significant and promising manufacturing technologies, machining and joining processes, modeling, simulation, material characterization and failure mechanisms.
A comprehensive overview of the most recent results and findings in the field of advanced composite materials will be provided.

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