High-Temperature-Resistant Polymers and Their Advanced Composites

Dear Colleagues,

We live in the Polymer Age, where polymer materials have become ubiquitous in modern industry and daily life, especially high-temperature-resistant polymers used in extremely harsh environments, including at elevated temperatures, under high mechanical stress, and in the presence of flames or solvents. For example, fiber-reinforced high-temperature-resistant polymer composites are lightweight structural materials for aircraft parts, while high-temperature-resistant polymer films are indispensable in flexible optoelectronic devices. These polymers and composites play irreplaceable roles in various fields, including aerospace, electronics, automobile, and the military.

This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers to present new research and developments focused on high-temperature-resistant polymers and advanced composites. We welcome submissions that explore the latest advancements and cutting-edge technologies in these fields. Potential topics include but are not restricted to the following:

• Molecular design of high-temperature-resistant polymer;
• Synthesis and characterization of high-temperature-resistant polymer;
• Processing or modification of high-temperature-resistant polymer;
• Applications of high-temperature-resistant polymer and their composites;
• Rational design of high-temperature-resistant polymer composites;
• Multifunctional composites based on high-temperature-resistant polymers;
• Service properties of high-temperature-resistant polymers and their composites;
• Failure mechanisms of high-temperature-resistant polymers and their composites;
• Films, fibers, coatings, membranes, laminates, foams, plates, pipes, or formed parts based on high-temperature-resistant polymers.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
