Advanced Materials and Technologies for Aviation and Automotive Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, the development of technologies and materials used in the construction of internal combustion engines for aviation and vehicles is of great importance in terms of the correct overall efficiency of these engines. Increasing thermal loads of engines in order to increase their operational performance causes problems with their durability and accelerated wear. The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest research results in the field of the construction and design of internal combustion engines. There is a great need to modernize the current state of knowledge in the field of operation, wear processes, technologies, base materials, and coatings used in the construction of internal combustion engine components. Materials, coatings, and physical phenomena occurring in aircraft and car engines constitute a very wide range of knowledge. Therefore, I encourage you to publish materials from simulation and experimental research in the field of new material technologies, tribology, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and dynamics of internal combustion engines. In the era of great pressure to reduce the emission of toxic exhaust gases, results related to exhaust emission tests with the use of the latest tools, with the simultaneous description of physical and chemical phenomena occurring in the engine, are welcome. I also encourage you to publish materials related to the exhaust gas cleaning systems of aircraft and car engines.

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.
