Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics is a peer-reviewed, pure open access journal which aims to publish, provide visibility to, and widen research on the application of engineering methods for the design of fibrous structures (textiles, clothing, composites) and fiber based materials (paper, flexible membranes, shells, plates, 3D printed materials, foams). The journal covers all stages of the textile life cycle, from production to end of life, and includes the following aspects: chemistry, engineering and design, management, logistic recycling and teaching.
The journal accepts original research and review articles which present research in fundamental and applied research areas. All submitted manuscripts considered suitable for Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics are subjected to a rigorous peer review process in order to ensure that all published articles are of the highest quality.
