Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements and challenges in the field of heat and mass transfer within advanced materials, providing a comprehensive platform for researchers to share innovative findings and methodologies. Advanced materials, such as nanomaterials, composites, intelligent materials, phase-change materials, and biomaterials, are revolutionizing industries by enabling enhanced thermal management, energy efficiency, and mass diffusion capabilities. However, understanding and optimizing heat and mass transfer in these materials remain complex and multidisciplinary challenges, requiring insights from material science, thermal engineering, and computational modeling.
The primary goal of this Special Issue is to highlight cutting-edge research that addresses the fundamental and applied aspects of heat and mass transfer in advanced materials. We invite contributions that focus on experimental studies, theoretical frameworks, and computational simulations to uncover the underlying mechanisms governing these processes at micro- and nanoscales. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Enhanced thermal conductivity and energy storage in advanced materials.
- Mass diffusion and transport phenomena in porous and composite materials.
- Applications in energy systems, electronics cooling, biomedical devices, and environmental engineering.
- Artificial intelligence methods in the innovative design of thermal conductive materials.
- Novel techniques for characterizing and optimizing heat and mass transfer properties.

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.
