Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this issue is to present the most recent advances in the field of three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), with multifunction properties.
This Special Issue provides an international forum for professionals and academics to exchange novel ideas and disseminate knowledge covering the full range of activities related to the multidisciplinary area of 3D printing.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to novel design for 3D printing; new applications of 3D printing processes; alloy design; 3D printing of polymeric nanostructures and single crystals; etc. Moreover, this Special Issue will cover 3D data acquisition technologies, rapid tooling and manufacturing, customized mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties, quality control and AM standards, case studies, etc., and several novel applications, such as 3D-printed circuits and electronics, 3D-printed flexible electrodes, large-scale 3D photocatalytic/self-cleaning filters and devices, 3D printing for medicine and biomedical engineering, photonic metamaterials and metasurfaces, etc., to name but a few.
The scope of this Special Issue also includes all 3D printing processes for alloys, ceramics, and polymers.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit review articles, regular research papers, and short communications for this Special Issue on “3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing of Polymeric Nanostructures with Multifunction Properties”.
Dr. George Kenanakis
Guest Editor
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 2600 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.
