Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plasma technology has emerged as a versatile tool for material processing, offering precise control over material properties at the nanoscale. This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in plasma-based techniques for material deposition, etching, surface modification, fabrication, and functionalization.
Contributions will explore innovative plasma sources, reactor designs, and process parameters with which to optimize material properties. Topics of interest include plasma-assisted deposition of thin films with tailored functionalities, the precise etching of complex patterns, surface modification for improved adhesion, wettability, and biocompatibility, the fabrication of novel nanomaterials, solid waste decomposition, steel modification against corrosion, etc.
This collection aims to highlight the potential of plasma technology to address critical challenges in various industries, from electronics and energy to biomedical and environmental applications.
Research articles, review articles, and communications related to experimental, theoretical, and simulation studies on the devices, processes, and applications of plasmas for material processing are all invited.
Prof. Dr. Mirosław Dors

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.
