Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, polymer-based composites have been widely explored. Among the different polymer matrix composites, carbon fiber/polymer composites have attracted the most attention because carbon fibers can provide great strength, high specific modulus, excellent resistance to temperature, and outstanding electrical conductivity. Carbon fiber/polymer composites have been synthesized and applied in various fields, including EMI shielding, sensors, lithium-ion batteries, aerospace, etc.
The goal of this Special Issue is to highlight the preparations and properties of carbon fiber/polymer functional materials and investigate their potential applications. In this Special Issue, original research and reviews are welcome to be submitted. The topics of interest for this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Synthesis and characterizations of novel carbon fiber/polymer composites;
- Properties of carbon fiber/polymer composites;
- Multifunctional carbon fiber/polymer composites.

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.
