Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Advances in Laser Processing Technology of Materials—Second Edition", invites potential authors to contribute articles and reviews that encompass the broad spectrum of laser–material interactions and the applications of laser technologies. Contributions addressing the laser processing of dielectrics, ceramics, and biomaterials are particularly welcome.
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive platform for sharing cutting-edge research and insights into both fundamental laser–material interaction processes and the wide-ranging applications of laser technology.
Authors are encouraged to submit research articles that advance our understanding of the underlying physics, chemistry, and mechanics of laser–material interactions, either through new models or extensive simulations. These articles may explore topics from the most conventional applications such as laser ablation, welding, and surface modification to the most recent ones, such as additive manufacturing, the synthesis of nanomaterials, micro- and nano-manufacturing, and more.
Additionally, we welcome reviews that synthesize existing knowledge in laser processing technology, offering significant perspectives on the current state of the field and potential future directions.
By fostering collaborations and the exchange of knowledge, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the ongoing progress of laser processing technology, benefitting researchers, engineers, and industries working with materials across the spectrum. Join us in sharing your expertise and discoveries in this exciting field.

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. Materials 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.
