Materiais 2023, XXI Congresso da Sociedade Portuguesa De Materiais and XII International Symposium on Materials
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will publish papers of authors delivering oral/poster presentations at the Materiais 2023, XXI Congresso da Sociedade Portuguesa de Materiais and XII International Symposium on Materials, held in Guimarães, Portugal, 3–6 April 2023.
MATERIAIS 2023 will explore the latest scientific and technical developments in Materials Science and Engineering and related areas, bridging different knowledge domains under the scope of the main theme of “Sustainability for a Future”. The International Symposium will cover all materials areas, namely materials for environmental protection and remediation, biomedical, bioderived and bio-inspired materials, materials for the digital transformation, materials for mobility, materials for structural and multifunctional applications, materials for energy and power generation, and materials and cultural heritage. Submissions related to these topics can be considered for 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.
