Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites: Manufacturing, Characterization and Applications
This special issue belongs to the section "Metals and Alloys".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
I would like to invite you to submit your outstanding paper to the Special Issue “Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites: Manufacturing, Characterization and Applications”. As you know, the metal matrix composite has unique properties such as being easy to assemble and having high strength and surface functionalization. Tool kits, like the Materials Genome, also drive the progress of manufacturing and characterization of metal matrix composites, with the ultimate goal of design and editing. For example, some types of fiber-reinforced metal may be easily fabricated via the metal infiltration process. Non-contact ultrasonic was introduced to examine the microscopic integrity of materials. We also found applications in deep space, deep sea, and the polar region. We hope to share our progress in this Special Issue.

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-anonymized 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.
