Development of Advanced Materials Using Additive Manufacturing Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has revolutionized the design and fabrication of products by enabling the development of novel materials to achieve multi-functional properties. Advanced materials and multiscale structures have enabled the optimization of the overall properties of components. Despite researchers’ continued efforts, materials suitable for AM processes still appear to be a major bottleneck in its acceptance for use in manufacturing industries and other sectors involving the customization and personalization of products.

This Special Issue, titled “Development of Advanced Materials Using Additive Manufacturing Technologies”, will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share novel ideas and research regarding the design, processing, and characterization of novel and advanced materials, such as high-performance polymers, composite materials, metallic alloys, high-entropy alloys, biomaterials, and functional ceramics, using AM technologies. It aims to cover all the fundamentals of the processing, synthesis, structure, composition, and performance of advanced materials designed or modified via AM processes.

We invite authors to submit full-length articles with original research, review papers, and communications for inclusion this Special Issue focusing on the development of advanced materials using AM technologies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
