Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are a basic part of construction materials and play an important role in engineering. Tremendous progress has been made in the field of fiber-reinforced composites in recent years. Research has focused on the novel materials and advanced structure technology of fiber-reinforced composites, ranging from the macroscopic to the microscopic.

This Special Issue of Polymers, “New Research on Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites II”, is now open for submissions. Papers may focus on a range of topics, such as the durability evaluation of fiber-reinforced composites; fracture behavior of fiber-reinforced composites; new test technologies of fiber-reinforced composites; fiber-reinforced composites for structural reinforcement; fiber-reinforced composites for seismic strengthening of structures, theory, design and methods for fiber-reinforced composites; and structural properties of fiber-reinforced composites, etc.

The abovementioned possible research directions of fiber-reinforced Polymer composites are not intended to constitute an exhaustive list; any original article or comprehensive review contributing to the field of fiber-reinforced Polymer composites is also welcome.

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.

The bonding properties of BFRP composites have been demonstrated in previous studies, satisfying the strength and durability criteria. In this paper, a further in-depth study is carried out to bond Basalt Fibre Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) to Aluminum Alloy 5052 using two bonding agents, Aralite® 2012 and Aralite® 2015, respectively. The salt sprays under 80 °C, 3.5% NaCl environment; 80 °C, 5% NaCl environment; and pure water environment are also considered for comparison. Experimental results show that joints created with Araldite® 2012 adhesives show higher average breaking strength (10.66 MPa at 720 h) and better ductility in a 5% NaCl environment. While the Araldite® 2015 adhesive joint exhibits a combination of tear failure and interface failure, along with thin-layer cohesion failure. In the SEM images of the two adhesive joints’ failure, fiber pullout due to tension and damage at the interface between fiber and resin is apparent. To validate the experimental outcomes, water absorption testing, DSC, TGA-DTG, and FTIR experiments were conducted on dog-bone-shaped adhesive specimens to elucidate the results. Full article
