Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide range of topics related to polymeric matrix composites in engineering applications. Besides traditional fiber-reinforced composites, novel composites, works including nanocomposites, biocomposites, and energy composites are welcome. Authors are encouraged to develop novel experimental approaches for the synthesis of high-performance composites and utilize a diverse range of characterization techniques to explain the underlying behaviors of materials. In addition, we welcome works that use analytical and numerical methods to clarify their results and predict the properties of composites, e.g., mean-field theories, multiscale and multiphysics calculations, FEM, BEM, and mesh-free methods. In addition, this Special Issue also focuses on the structural problems of plates, shells, and nanostructures, among other materials.
We invite you to contribute original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that delve into the synthesis, characterization, and application of polymer composites in this diverse array of engineering-related areas. This Special Issue aims to foster knowledge exchange, inspire new ideas, and propel advancements in polymer composites and their multifaceted roles in engineering-related fields. Your valuable contributions will undoubtedly enrich scientific discourse and drive the development of sustainable energy solutions. We look forward to receiving your submissions and thank you for your support.

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.
