Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, smart polymer-based composite materials have gained popularity in different fields, especially textile engineering, thanks to the unique properties and high-performance of composite materials in the development and promotion of smart materials to resolve complex issues in various applications including biosensors, hydrogels, nanocomposites, functional materials, phase change materials, smart coating, self-cleaning, moisture- and thermal-responsive polymer, etc. The nonlinear response of smart polymers is what makes them so unique and effective. Therefore, multifunctional properties including comfort, smart wetting properties, wound monitoring, self-control, self-cleaning or ease of recycling can be delivered to textiles by integrating smart polymers into them, which are critical for the sophisticated modern way of life.
Therefore, this Special Issue will cover recent trends in advanced intelligent polymer composite materials for potential textile topics including, but not limited to: structure, multiple functionalities nanomaterials, smart nanocoating textiles methodologies, mathematical modelling, implementing artificial intelligence methodologies, reinforced textile materials (in composites and polymer composites), synthesis, characterization, and promising smart applications of textile-based polymer composite materials in the textile field.
We invite authors to submit their research results in the form of full-length research articles, review articles, as well as communications and letters on the above-mentioned topics.

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.
