IMPACT FACTOR 4.329 an Open Access Journal by MDPI Multi-functional Polymer Composites and Structures Guest Editor: Message from the Guest Editor Prof. Dr. De-Yi Wang The 5th International Conference on Multi-Functional Head of High Performance Materials and Structures (MFMS 2018) is being developed Polymer Nanocomposites Group, IMDEA Materials Institute, C/Eric into one of the most prestigious international events to Kandel, 2, 28906 Getafe, Madrid, disseminate edge-cutting achievements on the Spain fundamentals and applications of advanced multi- [email protected] functional polymers and composites. As an inheritance of successful experience of the previous four MFMS conferences, MFMS 2018 is intended to integrate well- Deadline for manuscript extinguished pioneering scientists and innovation-enriched submissions: young researchers, aiming to promote the burst of closed (30 November 2018) composite research and development. The main topics of this conference cover advanced and functional materials, composites and applications, bio-based materials, smart and intelligent materials and structures, processing and engineering of materials, fiber-reinforced composites and materials, etc., for specific applications. The editorial office of the journal Polymers (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/polymers) aims to publish a Special Issue of selected papers related to "Multi- Functional Polymer Composites and Structures", which will undergo a thorough peer-review process. mdpi.com/si/15906 SpeciaIslsue IMPACT FACTOR 4.329 an Open Access Journal by MDPI Editor-in-Chief Message from the Editor-in-Chief Prof. Dr. Alexander Böker Since its foundation in 2009, Polymers has developed into Lehrstuhl für Polymermaterialien an internationally renowned, extremely successful open und Polymertechnologie, access journal. The editorial team and the editorial board University of Potsdam, 14476 Potsdam-Golm, Germany dedicatedly combine open-access publishing and high- quality rigorous peer reviewing. The performance of the journal has proven this strategy to be well-suited and highly successful. This is reflected in the increasing impact factor of Polymers, the most recent one being 3.426. I would like to invite you to contribute to the success of the journal by sending us your high quality research papers. We would be pleased to welcome you as one of our authors.
