Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will present modern applications of high-pressure (high-energy) water jets, theoretically and in terms of research. Submitted papers should mainly concern significant research results covering the use of various types of jets, such as plain jets, pulsating jets, abrasive suspension water jets, abrasive injection water jets, cryogenic jets, etc., in machining various materials, especially structural materials (both super hard and soft) and composites, including multilayer composites, ceramic composites, food composites, etc., in technological operations of cutting, turning, milling, drilling, and others. The topics of the papers should include the behavior of the selected materials and their interaction with the working tool—a high-pressure liquid jet—in selected applications. Quality assessments, monitoring of the machining process or its control and simulation, and theoretical studies of technological processes and operations with experimental results confirming the presented conclusions will be welcomed. Articles presenting new measurement procedures, especially those concerning the surface quality obtained after machining and describing the interaction of the material with the control parameters, will also be considered.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
