Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multi-principle element alloys (MPEAs) have attracted extensive interest due to their exceptional mechanical properties and the vast compositional space for new MPEAs. Recent advances in overcoming the strength–ductility synergy by deliberately deploying heterogeneous nanostructures in MPEAs have revolutionized alloy design strategies in the field of structural materials. For this Special Issue of Materials, we welcome exceptional innovative contributions on the damage, fracture, and fatigue of MPEAs with heterogeneous nanostructures. This Special Issue aims to present a collection of original research articles and review papers that will provide researchers across the world with an overview of the latest trends and progress in the research of MPEA mechanics.

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.
