Research on Mechanical Properties of High Temperature Materials in Extreme Environments

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Materials (IF 3.2) focused on the Mechanical Properties of High-Temperature Materials Operating under Extreme Environments. This is a research area of growing importance across aerospace, nuclear, automotive, and energy sectors. As global demands increase for materials that can endure harsh operating conditions (such as high temperatures, corrosive atmospheres, radiation, and mechanical stress), the development and characterization of such advanced materials become critically important for structural integrity, safety, and long-term performance.

This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research that aligns with the journal’s focus on advanced materials science and engineering. Contributions should address fundamental mechanisms, modeling approaches, experimental investigations, or technological applications that fall within the journal’s scope of materials performance and reliability.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and review papers are welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

• High-temperature alloys and ceramics;
• Mechanical behavior under thermal fatigue or creep;
• Oxidation, corrosion, and degradation mechanisms;
• Materials for gas turbines, nuclear reactors, or space structures;
• Multi-scale modeling of deformation and failure;
• Testing methods under extreme environmental conditions.

We look forward to your valuable contributions to this timely and impactful collection.

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.
