Mechanical Properties of Advanced Materials and Structures

Dear Colleagues,

The development of advanced materials and structures including fabrication, properties, and applications has become one of the most important topics in recent years. There has been a continual global push on the development of materials with enhanced properties across a wide spectrum of applications. An astonishing array of advanced materials and structures with unprecedented properties has been developed in recent years, across a wide range of commercial, biomedical, and industrial applications. Going forward, research activities in this field will most certainly intensify. The design and synthesis of advanced materials and structures require a thorough understanding of fundamental phenomena in condensed matter, materials physics, and engineering mechanics.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality research on advanced materials and structures with lasting significance. The scope encompasses computational and experimental endeavors that characterize, predict, and elaborate on the responses of advanced materials and structures, subjected to a broad range of stimuli (e.g., mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetic). Papers documenting on the fabrication, properties, and applications of advanced structural and materials are encouraged. Communications and reviews on focus topics are all welcome.

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.
