Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aerospace and marine fields are rapidly adopting advanced materials, especially composite materials, to meet objectives of light-weighting, durability, and efficiency. In additive, subtractive, and hybrid manufacturing, the advantages of these materials can be realized only when the manufacturing quality is controllable and verifiable. The key to achieving this lies in the understanding and control of manufacturing process variables and surface integrity.
We invite original research and review articles aimed at exploring process variables and surface integrity in the additive, subtractive, and hybrid manufacturing of composite materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- In situ multimodal monitoring and data fusion for the acquisition, quantitative characterization, and mechanistic analysis of process variables.
- Numerical modelling and validation of process variables.
- Mechanisms of surface and subsurface integrity formation, such as the residual stress, microstructure evolution, the initiation of micro-cracks, and porosity.
- Prediction and mitigation strategies for defects or damage in composite manufacturing.
- Quantitative relationships between process variables and surface integrity, and the development of process windows.

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.
