Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Scientists in engineering materials should be able to analyze all the materials used today - including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. To understand the structure of a substance, how to determine its properties, and how it works in technological applications, researchers use basic principles to address its scientific foundations as well as how it is processed and engineered. Material characterization techniques, with emphasis on practical applications and real-world case studies, provide the principles of widely used structure description, quality control, and process improvement. This special issue deals with the following scope:
- Scientific processes to characterize materials using modern technologies
- Analysis of materials’ performance under specific use conditions
- Focuses on the interrelationships and interdependence between processing, structure, properties, and performance
- Covers electron, X-ray-photoelectron, and UV spectroscopy; scanning-electron, atomic-force, transmission-electron, laser-confocal-scanning-florescent microscopy, and X-ray diffraction

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
