Materials (ISSN: 1996-1944) received its first Impact Factor of 3.748 in 2022 and is now published semi-monthly. Since it was first established, Materials has aimed to provide a professional publishing service to the scientific community and has strived towards the effective dissemination of high-quality scientific work.

Materials is a peer-reviewed, open access journal of materials science and engineering published semi-monthly online by MDPI. The Portuguese Materials Society (SPM), Spanish Materials Society (SOCIEMAT) and Manufacturing Engineering Society (MES) are affiliated with Materials and their members receive a discount on the article processing charges.

In order to support the scientific community and contribute to the faster distribution of important scientific research, Materials has cooperated with various academic conferences and is now seeking cooperation with additional academic conferences. The journal is open to a diverse range of collaborations, such as media partnerships, awards, exhibitions, and publications.

The scope of Materials includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Publishing research related to all classes of materials, including ceramics, glasses, polymers (plastics), composites, semiconductors, magnetic materials, biological and biomimetics materials, silica, dots, and carbon materials, metals, and alloys from nanoscale to bulk alloys. All kinds of functional materials used for the development of medical implants in medicine and dentistry, coatings and films, pigments, ionic crystals, covalent crystals, metals, and intermetallics are also considered;
• Covering all aspects of materials science or materials engineering, including nanoscience and nanotechnology;
• Contributing to the advancement of material characterization techniques, such as electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, calorimetry, nuclear microscopy and spectroscopy, laser technology, optical fibers, Rutherford backscattering, and neutron diffraction, among others;
• Inciting fundamental research in condensed matter physics and materials physics, continuum mechanics and statistics, mechanics of materials, tribology (friction, lubrication and wear), solid-state physics, etc.

We welcome consultations with any conferences related to materials. If you are interested in collaborating with Materials, please contact us at materials@mdpi.com.
