Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Studying liquid processing during manufacturing of composite materials has been a focal area over the last few decades spanning around developing cutting-edge experimental techniques and numerical approaches. These efforts aim to reduce manufacturing-induced deficiencies, tailor mechanical, thermal, and physical properties across different length scales, and enhance overall structural performance.
The purpose of this Special Issue, ”Liquid Processing for Manufacturing of Composite Materials: Experimental Techniques and Numerical Modelling”, is to collect state-of-the-art studies focused on experimental methods, theoretical approaches, and numerical simulations as well as high-quality review papers related to liquid processing during manufacturing of composite materials. Interesting topics include (but not limited to) experimental methods of characterising porous media properties, resin impregnation mechanisms/modelling into fibrous porous media at different length scales, rheology and cure kinetics of polymers, and multiphysics modelling of liquid composite moulding. In addition, articles may cover modification and functionalisation of composites applied in transport and renewable energy industries.

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. Journal of Composites Science is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
