Design, Characterization, and Applications of Advanced Engineering Materials

Advanced engineering materials are the basis for human production and life. Currently, human survival is confronted with issues such as energy, the environment, and health. To solve these, new material design and characterization technology is required, which will set new requirements for advanced engineering materials and the speed of material research and development. In this way, advanced engineering materials have ushered in a new era of great application prospects. Simultaneously, advanced engineering materials are the predecessor and cornerstone of current high-technology development, as well as the cradle for upgrading conventional and developing industries. Thus, exploring the future research and development trends and industrial uses of advanced engineering materials is one of the most efficient approaches to addressing human development issues. This Special Issue focuses on the most recent advances in engineering materials, such as extraction, characterization, processing, fabrication, design, applications, industrial and manufacturing developments, resource and supply chain issues, and sustainability practices for a wide range of metals, rare earths, composites, ceramics, intermetallics, coatings, biomedical materials, etc.

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 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-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.
