Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart textile materials are currently among the most rapidly developing research topics within materials engineering. They have various applications in many areas of life, including protecting people in conditions that threaten life and health, as well as monitoring our environment, in the automotive industry and construction, which leads to the development of new techniques for producing such solutions.
In recent years, interest has been piqued in the area of intelligent materials and their design by combining various fields of science such as electronics, computer science, textiles, and medicine.
Increasingly extensive research is being conducted to understand the structure and properties of electrically conductive structures integrated with materials such as textiles, wood, plastic, etc.
This Special Issue entitled “Smart Textile Materials: Design, Characterization and Application” is devoted to all aspects of the science and technology of electroponditrium polymers, including, among others, those integrated in textile or glass structures for applications in fibrinity, car industries, furniture, intelligent materials, environmentally friendly materials, reliable new approaches to testing, methodology, processing and production techniques, printing, aging, and recycling.

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.
