Special Issue Information
Over recent years, the design of electromagnetic devices has been deeply influenced by the availability and the increasingly frequent adoption of new magnetic materials, which allow modified approaches to the machine design, and to obtain shapes otherwise impossible. Deep innovations are nowadays available to both soft and hard magnetic materials: on one side the so called Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC), and on the other the bonded magnets. SMCs, constituted by iron particles covered with binders to provide eddy currents insulation and mechanical strength, make it possible to replace the traditional laminated steels and realize new magnetic shapes; bonded magnets can represent a valid compromise between cheap ferrites and performing sintered magnets. A lot of research is being carried out to develop the cited innovative materials, to provide specific methodologies for their characterization, and to adopt them in the realization of electric machines prototypes. Moreover, 3D printing technologies are now well adapted to use those type of new materials and permit the extension the field of innovative structures of machines. In the use of soft materials, the magnetic losses should represent a key issue: the behavior comparison of SMCs and laminated steels highlights interesting perspectives when the frequencies are in the range of more than one kHz. On the other side, the characteristics of bonded magnets can be adapted to the specific requirements of the applications by varying the composition of the magnet. The purpose of this Special Issue is to attract research papers showing studies on innovative magnetic materials, their characterization, and adoption in the realization of electromagnetic devices.

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. Energies 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 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.
