Special Issue on: "Composite Materials: Fabrication, Engineering and Applications"

Guest Editor:
Prof. J. Paulo Davim, University of Aveiro, Portugal

Currently, it is possible to define composite materials as “engineered materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties which remain separate and distinct on a macroscopic level within the finished structure“. Recently, the use of advanced composites has been augmented in numerous areas of science and technology due to their exceptional mechanical and physical properties. Therefore, composites have the potential to substitute conventional materials in several fields of application such as automotive, biomedical, aeronautical and aerospace as well as in other areas in advanced industries.

We welcome the submission of high-quality research articles with experimental and computational developments applied in composite materials: fabrication, engineering and applications are welcome.
