Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue represents a collection of original research on the topic of Advanced and Emerging Materials. Nowadays new manufacturing techniques allow us to develop and to employ a wide range of functional materials and structures. This Special Issue will cover this topic in a broad way focusing on materials characterization; nanotechnology in material sciences and engineering; materials processing and manufacturing; soft and biomaterials; fibers and membranes; optical, electrical and magnetic materials. Authors are cordially invited to contribute and submit the details of their original and cutting-edge research in the field of materials science to this thematic issue. The aim is to provide an updated state of the art discussing new trends and possibilities in the challenging field of emerging materials.
