Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute research papers and review articles for this Special Issue, entitled “Novel Metal Matrix Composite Materials”. Metal matrix composites, which integrate a metallic base with reinforcing phases (e.g., ceramics, carbon fibers, or nanoparticles), represent a transformative advancement in materials science. The scientific significance of novel metal matrix composites lies in their potential to revolutionize industries demanding lightweight, high-performance materials. By advancing novel metal matrix composites, scientists not only push the frontiers of material science but also directly contribute to sustainable technological progress.
This Special Issue aims to advance the understanding and innovation of metal composites by exploring cutting-edge strategies in material design, fabrication technologies, performance optimization, and specific applications. It seeks to address critical challenges of metal composites in applications relating to catalysis, energy, sensing, electromagnetic wave absorption, and other fields.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Material design and innovation.
- Advanced manufacturing techniques.
- Special physical and chemical properties.
- Mechanical and functional properties.
- Applications in catalysis, energy, sensing, electromagnetic wave absorption, etc.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Inorganics 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 2200 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.
