Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue of Materials, "Advanced Materials and Composites for Flame-Resistant Applications", is to present the latest scientific and technical achievements in the field of materials, paints, coatings, adhesives and construction materials, ceramic compositions, fibers and others applicable to the field of fire resistance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Chemical composition, formulations and product specifications;
- Polymers and other raw materials;
- Advances in the science of coatings, adhesives, building materials and related products;
- Use of nanotechnology;
- Progress in processing and production;
- Measurement, testing and quality systems;
- Fire-fighting supplies and tools;
- Equipment and production lines;
- Application techniques;
- Environment, safety and health;
- Regulations on products and processes;
- Numerical modeling
Knowledge in these areas is necessary for the further development of materials and the construction of tools that allow the development of the best available techniques, both energy-saving and material-saving, while meeting the conditions of fire resistance and safety. It should also be borne in mind that, depending on the application, they must meet certain requirements in terms of physicochemical properties, as well as legal and waste management.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together the current views of materials scientists, physicists, chemists and chemical engineers, as well as others who are involved in a wide range of the topics discussed above. We are pleased to invite authors to submit original research papers, reviews, short messages and concept papers.

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.
