Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore and elucidate the evolving realm of carbon-fiber composites (CFCs) in relation to their mechanical properties, innovative structural designs, and expanding applications. Carbon-fiber composites have increasingly found their place in modern industry due to their unique combination of high strength, low weight, and durability. This Special Issue seeks contributions that highlight cutting-edge research, methodologies, and real-world applications of CFCs, offering a comprehensive understanding of the current state and future potential of carbon-fiber technology.
Topics of Interest:
Contributions may cover, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mechanical properties of carbon-fiber composites.
- Advances in the structural design of CFCs.
- Novel manufacturing processes and techniques.
- Real-world applications of CFCs, for example in the aerospace, automotive, energy, and construction industries.
- Impact of CFCs on sustainable and green technologies.
- Case studies and experimental results.
- Computational models and simulations related to CFCs.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
