Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Special Issue "Advanced Composite Materials and Structures for Engineering Applications" in Applied Sciences. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements and innovations in composite materials and structures, focusing on their diverse applications in engineering. Composites have emerged as essential materials in various industries due to their optimized mechanical properties, lightweight nature, and versatility. This Special Issue seeks to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present their cutting-edge research, methodologies, and case studies related to advanced composite materials and structures.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel composite material synthesis and characterization techniques;
- Advanced manufacturing processes for composite structures;
- Multifunctional composites for aerospace, automotive, marine, and civil engineering applications;
- Structural health monitoring and damage assessment of composite structures;
- Sustainable and eco-friendly composite materials;
- Computational modeling and simulation of composite materials and structures.
We invite researchers to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that advance the understanding and application of composite materials and structures in engineering. Join us in shaping the future of composite materials and their pivotal role in engineering innovation.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
