Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last several decades, materials have been critical to the growth, prosperity, security, and quality of life of humans. Since the dawn of time, novel materials have been among the greatest achievements of every age. They have paved the way for new technologies in the fields of civil, chemical, construction, nuclear, aeronautical, agricultural, mechanical, biomedical, and electrical engineering that make use of functional materials such as biomaterials, packaging materials, and flexible electronics. Specifically, advanced materials in which the composition, structure, and surface are functionalized to confer specific, application-oriented properties.
This Special Issue collection will cover some of the latest developments in the synthesis, processing, and characterization of nanostructured functional materials for advanced applications. It will correlate the structure and properties for realistic applications. Ceramics, composites, electronic and optoelectronic materials, amorphous materials, crystalline materials, thin films, and nanostructured materials are examples of such materials.

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.
