Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surface engineering plays a pivotal role in enhancing the performance and functionality of materials across diverse industries. Laser-based surface processing has emerged as a powerful and versatile technique suite that offers precise control over material surface properties, enabling tailored functionalities and improved performance characteristics. This Special Issue, "Laser-Based Surface Processing: Techniques, Mechanisms, and Advanced Applications", aims to showcase the latest advancements in this rapidly evolving field, encompassing fundamental research on underlying mechanisms to cutting-edge applications in various sectors.
We invite submissions that explore the breadth of laser-based surface processing, including but not limited to laser surface modification techniques, fundamental mechanisms of laser–material interaction, advanced characterization of laser-processed surfaces, applications in emerging fields, and so on.
This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and engineers to disseminate their latest findings and insights in laser-based surface processing. We anticipate that this collection of articles will contribute significantly to the advancement of the field and inspire further innovation in surface engineering for advanced materials and applications.

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.
