Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Composites have been widely used in airplanes, vehicles, buildings, and structures in our daily lives (e.g., doors and windows) due to their superior mechanical properties, low weight, and multifunctionalities. The synergies of two or more different constituent materials are the key to achieving these properties, which are greatly impacted by the adhesion mechanics at interfaces between different materials. This Special Issue, “Adhesion Mechanics of Composites”, aims to collect high-quality original research papers and comprehensive reviews on recent advances in the field of the mechanics of interfaces in composites. All areas in composite mechanics are welcomed, with examples included but not limited to mechanics modeling and characterization, underlying design mechanisms of natural biological composites, bio-mimetic and bio-inspired design, and the manufacturing of engineered composites as well as their 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. 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.
