Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent carbon fiber/resin matrix polymer composite advancements have led to significant innovation across various sectors. Automated techniques like fiber placement and tape laying have improved manufacturing processes, and researchers have focused on enhancing carbon fiber properties as well as exploring tailored fiber architectures. Novel resin systems, such as advanced thermosetting and thermoplastic matrices, have contributed to superior mechanical properties. Nanotechnology, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, has been used to strengthen these materials. Multifunctional composites have emerged, incorporating sensors, actuators, and thermoelectric elements for applications like structural health monitoring and energy harvesting. This Special Issue will invite papers in this field.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
