Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Technological development is associated with the consumption of vast amounts of energy. Increases in environmental pollution and the greenhouse effect are driving the search for improvements (and savings) in the field of materials engineering. Therefore, modern construction and functional materials must feature increasingly improved mechanical and performance parameters. The development of these materials relies on the search for new, as well as the improvement of existing production and material processing methods for alloys, polymers, and composites.
An example of a class of modern materials is that of amorphous materials, nanomaterials, polymers or geopolymers—which are used as construction and even magnetic materials. The interest surrounding those materials is generated by their excellent mechanical properties, physical or chemical.
Often, such materials become a support or completely replace conventionally used materials. In the case of magnetic properties, the structure of the produced material is especially important.
Amorphous alloys, nanocrystalline materials, polymers, and composites all require continuous improvements, and their processing methods are constantly being enhanced. In practice, the mechanical and magnetic properties of the materials can be controlled by their thermal treatment and method of production. Both methods can lead to structural relaxation, which influences the specifics properties of these materials.
Composite materials and amorphous alloys represent an important target in the development of construction and functional materials. It is well known that composites should exhibit better properties than their individual constituents. On the other hand, amorphous alloys should have better properties than their crystalline counterparts with the same chemical composition.
Those materials find wide application in many areas of life; for example, the medicine, sports, and electronics industries.
This Special Issue on “Properties of Amorphous and Partially Crystalline Materials” concerns all aspects related with the properties and methods of production of those materials. We welcome articles related to this field. It is my pleasure to invite the submission of manuscripts for this Special Issue.

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. Magnetochemistry 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 2700 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.
