Advanced Materials and Processing Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Industrial advancement is intrinsically linked to the development and implementation of innovative structural materials and processing technologies, as well as the efficient utilization of current and emerging energy sources. Emphasis is also placed on the organization of production processes, quality management, and environmental sustainability.

This Special Issue, “Advanced Materials and Processing Technologies”, will focus on various types of advanced materials produced using recent technologies. Special attention will be given to optimizing production processes to enhance material properties (mechanical, corrosion, electrical, thermal, etc.) while also considering sustainability and environmental protection.  

This Special Issue of Materials aims to present novel research and developments in the fields of production mechanical technologies, structural materials, industrial engineering, energy engineering, advanced design technology, production management, quality management, environmental protection, computer simulations of production processes, wear, and tribology.

We invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome. We look forward to receiving your submissions.

This Special Issue is associated with the 13th International Conference Mechanical Technologies and Structural Materials 2024 (MTSM 2024), which will be held in Split, Croatia, on September 19–20, 2024. For more information about the event, please visit the following link: www.strojarska-tehnologija.hr

Nevertheless, we encourage all scholars, including those who do not plan to attend the conference, to submit their papers to this Special Issue.

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.
