Growth and Application of Foam-Based Materials

Dear Colleagues,

As a specific type of complex stochastic systems, foamed substances exhibit a variety of amazing features in the course of formation, growth, and degradation. Despite more than a century of research activity in the field of foam physics, interest in researching the fundamental properties of various foamy systems continues to be high. This is particularly due to the wide applications of foams substances in various areas of modern technologies, from the construction industry to regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Moreover, these application areas continuously expand, resulting, for instance, in the creation of novel functional materials with the unique properties.

In this Special Issue, fundamental processes in foams at the microscopic and macroscopic scales, foam structure stabilization and related problems, and modern foam-based technologies and materials are highlighted and discussed.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Prof. Dmitry A. Zimnyakov

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
