Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is an increasing diversity of industrial textiles, which boosts the development of the types of industrial fibers concurrently, expanding from ordinary fibers to high-tech and high-performance fibers. The industrial textiles and industrial fibers share mutual and inseparable improvement and development. According to the industrial use, industrial fibers can be divided into regular industrial fibers, high-performance fibers, and functional fibers; while according to the intrinsic material, they can be divided into natural fibers and chemical fibers. Comparing to natural fibers, chemical fibers feature a greater length, linear density, consistency, physical/chemical attributes, e.g. mechanical characteristics, tensile elongation, elasticity, and chemical resistance. Chemical fibers almost do not contain any purities, yet they have a manageable process that suits the requirements of industrial textiles. Subsequently, chemical fibers, including regular industrial fibers, high-performance fibers, functional fibers, are replacing natural fibers and becoming a much more popular material in the production of industrial textiles. Notably, a great success in developing high-performance fibers forms the base, from which industrial textiles yield powerful functions, a longer service life, and better physical/mechanical/chemical properties. The industrial textiles now play a role of importance in terms of the domestic economy, and hence, as the guest editor of this special issue of Recent Development in Textiles and Fibers, I cordially welcome related research of innovative ideas, expertise perspectives and contributions from both the academia and industry.

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.
