Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Fabrications and Characterization of Different Glasses Systems”, will address advances in materials science, fabrication and characterization of different types of glass systems. Glass is an immensely versatile material; it is used every day in numerous medical, technological, industrial and photonic applications. Glasses have several technological advantages over other kind of materials due to their superior physical, chemical, optical and structural properties. This encourages researchers and material engineers to develop novel glass systems for the different applications. The most common glass preparation techniques in glass research are the melt quench method, chemical vapor deposition and sol–gel method. In order to assess the possibility of using certain glass system in real applications, it is important to study the optical, structural, thermal, mechanical and radiation shielding properties. This can be achieved using common techniques such as XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, Raman, TGA/DSC and so on. This Special Issue, “Fabrications and Characterization of Different Glasses Systems”, will focus on novel glass systems used for different applications such as photonics, medical, renewable energy, appliances and electronics

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.
