New Directions and Applications for Artificial Engineered Materials—Selected Papers from Metamaterials’ 2017

Dear Colleagues,

The Eleventh International Congress on Engineered Material Platforms for Novel Wave Phenomena—Metamaterials' 2017 (http://congress2017.metamorphose-vi.org/) will be held in Marseille, France from 28 August–2 September, 2017. From its first edition in 2007, the Metamaterials Congress has established itself as one of the most important forums worldwide for the engineering, physics, applied mathematics, and material science communities to share and discuss the latest results regarding artificially engineered materials and their applications in different fields, from electromagnetics and mechanics, to hydrodynamics and thermodynamics.

To continue this exchange of ideas and visions beyond the actual Congress, we are very glad to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue in Materials. This Special Issue will contain a selection of papers that derive their contents from either oral or poster presentations at the Metamaterials’ 2017 Congress. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a timely and broad collection of the topics discussed at the Congress. Manuscripts shall revolve around fundamentals of artificial materials and their design, electromagnetic, acoustic, and mechanical applications of metamaterials, metasurfaces and frequency selective surfaces, new wave phenomena, quantum aspects of metamaterials, plasmonics, nonlinearity and nonreciprocity, topological insulators, fabrication and measurements techniques, etc.

We invite researchers to submit their contributions, both original research articles and review papers, to this Special Issue and look forward to reading your submissions.

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.
