Summary

As an important branch in the field of modern materials science, polymer matrix composites have shown broad application prospects in the fields of electrical insulation materials, aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronic information and new energy due to their excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, light weight, high strength and designability. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the advanced modification technology of polymer matrix composites has become a key force to promote its performance improvement and application expansion. These advanced modification technologies cover many aspects, including but not limited to: nano-enhancement technology, interface engineering technology, chemical modification technology, physical blending modification and advanced composite material theory. In addition, we also focus on environmental protection and sustainability, and strive to improve the performance of materials while reducing energy consumption and pollutant emissions in the production process. The purpose of this special issue is to bring together researchers from different research fields to share their advanced modification methods, experimental design ideas, and focused performance enhancement effects of polymer matrix composites. These innovations not only provide more reliable and efficient solutions for power, electronics, aerospace and other fields, but also promote polymer-based materials to high performance and green direction.
