Advanced Materials, Machinability and Intelligent Manufacturing Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The modern global economy faces several important challenges that require the creation of new technological solutions. The issues related to advanced materials, machinability and intelligent manufacturing systems hold a pivotal role in the advancement of modern engineering and technology. The significance of these fields stems from their potential to revolutionize various industries, driving innovation and sustainability in the global economy.

With the development of new materials, it has become necessary to develop new technological solutions enabling the production of products with new, previously unknown functional characteristics and functions. Challenges in the field of manufacturing technology require in-depth research not only in the field of technology but also new tools and the environment for performing manufacturing processes. Changes in the global economy also include the widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies. In addition to self-adaptive production systems, intelligent materials that change their properties as a result of external factors such as radiation intensity or temperature changes are also important.

The Special Issue awaits the results of the latest work in the above-mentioned areas, which may contribute to the development of advanced materials and machinability technologies, as well as broadly understood intelligent manufacturing systems. We, therefore, welcome contributions on the following topics, though this list is not exhaustive:

• Materials and applications of additive manufacturing;
• Design, synthesis and applications of polymeric materials;
• The use of intelligent methods in the design and production of new materials;
• Machining/Forming of advanced materials;
• New techniques for processing difficult-to-machine materials;
• Advanced aerospace material and composites;
• Processes and applications of producing biological materials;
• Production of metal matrix composites (MMC) and ceramic matrix composites (CMC);
• Characteristics and machinability of MMC and CMC composites;
• Modeling of materials and production processes;
• Modeling of the machinability of composite materials.

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.
