Metal Foams 2023

Dear Colleagues,

Porosity within materials was once considered a source of weakness, especially with regards to mechanical behaviors. However, foams exhibit exceptional properties such as lower weight, high energy absorbing capacity, high strength-to-density ratio, and high damping capacity. Porous metals and metal foams are considered some of the most versatile lightweight materials in the world due to their wide range of commercial applications, structural and aerospace industry potential, implants and tissue engineering, etc.

We are assembling a Special Issue for Metals focusing on all aspects of porous metals and metal foams from modeling to manufacturing, testing, and application. I would like to invite you to contribute a research paper, review article, or communication paper for peer review and possible publication in this Special Issue.

We look forward to your contributions.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
