Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aerospace industry is at the forefront of technological innovation, constantly driving the development of advanced materials and manufacturing processes to meet the increasing demands for performance, efficiency, and sustainability. This Special Issue, titled "Advanced Aerospace Materials and Technologies", focuses on the latest advancements and cutting-edge research in the field of aerospace materials and their associated technologies.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, a wide range of topics such as polymers and composite materials, bio-mimetic materials inspired by nature’s designs, lightweight materials and shape memory alloys, and innovative additive manufacturing techniques. Contributions addressing smart materials and structures, capable of adapting to changing environmental conditions, and health and usage monitoring systems (HUMSs), which enhance safety and reliability, are particularly welcome.
Furthermore, this Issue aims to explore novel approaches to material aging and deterioration, recyclable and self-healing materials, and advanced solutions for harsh operating environments. Studies that integrate sustainability into material design and processing, alongside those that push the boundaries of aerospace material capabilities, will be highly valued.
Researchers, engineers, and scientists are invited to submit original research articles, reviews, and case studies that highlight advancements in the development, characterization, and application of aerospace materials. By bringing together contributions from different areas, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current trends and future directions in aerospace materials and technologies, fostering innovation and collaboration in this dynamic field.

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. Aerospace 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 2400 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.
