Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The processing of materials is a recurrent theme in the daily life of industry, from food through electronics to metalworking and advanced aerospace. In fact, technology and machines are found in the most varied production and processing lines for almost everything. Examples are processing technologies for chemicals, ores, ceramics and glass, metals (e.g., steel, aluminum, titanium), nanomaterials (e.g., graphene, nanofibers, nanofluids), polymers, composites (polymer matrix, metallic, natural fibers, etc.), wood and other natural products—even food and biological materials. Materials are processed by mechanical, chemical, electrical, light, and thermal means, such as pressing, welding, etc.
There are many possibilities for review papers for this Special Issue, including the following:
- Recent Metal Processing Technologies;
- Recent Thermoplastic Processing Technologies;
- Advanced polymer welding technologies;
- Laser material processing;
- High pressure food processing;
- Nanoscale manufacturing;
- Robotics in materials processing;
- The circular economy in materials processing;
- Artificial intelligence systems in materials processing.
