Emerging Manufacturing Strategies: Additive, Nano and Composite Fabrication of Functional Materials

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting you to submit your research for this Special Issue of the Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing published by MDPI, entitled “Emerging Manufacturing Strategies: Additive, Nano and Composite Fabrication of Functional Materials”.

The Special Issue, “Emerging Manufacturing Strategies: Additive, Nano and Composite Fabrication of Functional Materials”, is intended to focus on recent progress in new manufacturing methods that allow the design and production of the next generation of functional materials. The topic will concentrate on studies that involve three main areas: additive manufacturing, nanomanufacturing, and composite fabrication, both as independent dealing techniques and as integrated or hybrid manufacturing strategies.

The Issue may explore the different ways these new technologies could be used individually to customize material properties, increase process efficiency, or enable complex geometries. It will also examine how the combination of these technologies can lead to the creation of multifunctional materials with enhanced mechanical, thermal, electrical, or biomedical performance—for instance, through nano-enabled additive manufacturing or nanostructured composite systems.

The Special Issue receives experimental, computational, and review studies on process development, structure–property relationships, scalable manufacturing, and applications in aerospace, electronics, energy systems, and biomedical devices. The Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers by bringing together these complementary manufacturing paradigms to explore both distinct and synergistic pathways towards the fabrication of advanced functional 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 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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing 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 1800 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.
