Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the first and second volumes of the Special Issue "Crystal Plasticity" being highly successful, with the topic seemingly being very attractive for the manufacturing industry and materials scientists, it is my pleasure to announce the Special Issue "Crystal Plasticity Volume III".
A variety of complex application environments drive the demand for the development of high-performance engineering materials, including material strength, deformation resistance, light-weighting, corrosion resistance, high-temperature capability, material processing efficiency, sustainability and multifunctionality. The progress in the development of high-performance materials can be achieved either by developing and applying novel methods of investigation or by preparing materials with novel structural features and/or properties. In this Special Issue, potential papers could include all aspects of processing, structure/property evaluation and applications of both ferrous and nonferrous materials, composites (including biomaterials, high-temperature materials, and nanomaterials for energy and structural applications), structural metallic materials, ultrafine-grained materials, high-entropy alloys and nuclear materials. Potential papers can include, but are not limited to, the following subjects, covering the processing of high-performance engineering materials:
- Materials processing;
- Material strengthening mechanism;
- Phase transformations and microstructure control;
- Crystallographic texture evolution;
- Microstructure characterisations.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
