Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural and synthetic compounds can be processed into polymer fibers by solvent spinning, melt spinning, gel spinning, and so on. Through appropriate processing, these polymer fibers or their products are used in aspects of textiles, transportation, protective, building, intelligence, medical, healthcare, and environment management. This Special Issue “Functional Polymer Fibers” seeks high-quality works and topics that realize the superior function performance by means of a physical or chemical process, deeply discuss the relations of the structure and property, and/or acquire advanced fabrication and testing technology for functional polymer fibers and their products.

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.
