Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer composites reinforced with fibers are a promising alternative to metal parts and the solution for light construction materials. Due to their exceptional properties (flexibility, functionality and formability in complicated design parts), fiber-reinforced polymer composites have found applications in many industrial fields (construction, automobile, aerospace), biomedicine, marine and others. The performance of the polymeric composite material mainly depends on the nature of the components, the degree of interaction between the components and the processing technology.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight the latest original results in the development of composite materials based on synthetic and/or natural polymers and synthetic and/or natural fibers, with improved properties imposed by various applications.

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.
