Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer composites offer specific strength, stiffness, and other properties, allowing design as needed. The conventional thermoplastic composite moulding processes for fabricating a well-impregnated composite involve compounding and subsequent injection moulding processes. Innovative composite materials and innovative approaches are investigated with the purpose of enhancing properties, enlarging applications, and optimizing the processing.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- the development of polymer composite material systems for injection moulding;
- multifunctional and multiscale composites for injection moulding;
- advances in injection moulding processes for polymer composites;
- modelling of polymer composite injection moulding;
- online monitoring/measurement in polymer composite injection moulding;
- interfaces of composite by injection moulding;
- new approaches to predict and measure mechanical, physical, chemical, and wear behaviour, as well as the performance of polymer composites by injection moulding, and the characterization and application of polymer composites injection moulding.
This Special Issue is intended to assemble a collection of recent research findings in this field and to inspire future research.

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. 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.
