Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thousands of years have passed since the history of textiles and fibers began, starting with animal skins and plants. Over the past seventy years, the fiber and textile industries have undergone revolutionary changes and seen the most significant innovations in their histories. The most important innovations have come with the advent of the information and biotechnology industries. Recently, research on functional fibrous materials has been targeting the emerging multi-billion-dollar wearable technology industry and high-value applications in smart textiles. Textile functionality is expanding and advancing beyond the limit, and those advanced functionalities have been employed to protect public health and environmental protection in many different ways, such as safety gear, superabsorbance, filtrations, toxic purification, and the military system. Moreover, functional textiles have been developed in line with enhancing comfort properties.
This Special Issue aims to cover current research progress on polymer-based functional textiles. It intends to cover diverse aspects of textile materials and products, including material synthesis and modifications, the manufacture of fibrous materials, physical and chemical properties, characterization methods, care and maintenance, and case studies of textile 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. 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.
