Dear Colleagues,

Contemporary enterprises are embracing technological innovations, and emerging ideas in the manufacturing-industry in order to preserve and outperform from the perspective of value-addition, and quality at the affordable price. Manufacturing sectors are continually on the lookout for novel, innovative-materials due to the rapid evolution of technologies, and the desire for exceptional mechanical, thermal, abrasion, and physical-traits at a minimal-price. Composites has suddenly becoming extensively utilized around the entire globe owing to its remarkable characteristics and ease of processing. Since composite materials have been made up of 2 or more constituents, usually surpass matrix-materials. Among three most prevalent forms of composite includes, metal-matrix composites, polymer-matrix composites, and ceramic-matrix composites. Hybrid metallic-matrices or polymer-matrix composites, in particular, were developed to enhance properties via., reinforcing them with two distinct metallic particulates or fibers. Formerly, auto-maker companies including such Mercedes-Benz, Audi, B.M.W., and Volks-wagen had used composites to manufacture internal & external components. Furthermore, such composites are employed throughout the building construction, industrial applications, pharmaceutical, defense, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as the manufacture of suitcases, sport-goods, and protective helmets. The above special-section intends to disseminate innovative conjectural, operational, & methodological breakthroughs, considerable notable technological applications, case analysis, original research articles, and study findings in domains including such as fabrication, analysis, optimization, and experimentation on an advanced hybrid-composites for innumerable engineering and biomedical applications. One such special-issue encourages original articles, critical/comprehensive/mini-reviews, peer - reviewed scholarly case-study articles on hybrid composite materials, which do have numerous applicability in the automobile, building construction, aircraft, military, defense, electronics, aeronautical, pharmaceutical, and biomedical sectors. Amongst some of an emerging theme cluster include, but are not confined to, the following:

• composite derived from natural fibres
• techniques for producing bio-based polymer composites and their physicomechanical, structural, biomechanical, thermal, chemical, damping, tribological properties
• machining behaviour with microstructural, topographic, surface morphological analysis
• composites with something like a ceramic-matrix
• hybrid biocompatible functional composites
• conducting, and non-conducting composites
• composites with such a hybrid metal-matrix material
• polymer composites made from naturally occurring fibres that have been functionalized
• polymer composites made from naturally occurring fibres that have been functionalized
• reinforced polymers with fibre treatment
• surfaces characteristics & machinability or processability of composite materials

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.
