Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-performance alloys provide both high performance and metallic characteristics, and they are synthesized using two or more kinds of metals, or a metal or nonmetal, e.g., Al, Ti, Fe, NiAl, NiTi, and TiAl. These nanocomposites are materials based on high-performance alloys that are reinforced with a dispersed nanophase. The dispersed phase refers to inorganic or organic compounds. The inorganic compounds are usually ceramics, metals, etc., and the organic compounds are usually organic polymer materials. Because of their designability, high-performance alloys and their nanocomposites have desirable properties, such as high modulus, high strength, and good toughness. Hence, high-performance alloys and their nanocomposites have been developed into new types of material, which have been widely applied in many fields, such as the military, aerospace, and automotive fields.
Thus, we welcome studies about the fabrication, characterization, and testing of high-performance alloys and metal-matrix composites reinforced with different nanophases (e.g., fibers, particles, or whiskers) to be submitted for publication in this Special Issue. Furthermore, studies on the manufacturing process of high-performance alloys and nanocomposites and analyses of their strengthening mechanism will also be considered. We expect this Special Issue to offer guidance on the fabrication, investigation, and application of high-performance alloys and their nanocomposites.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
