Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Powder metallurgy represents a widely used method for producing finite parts of technologically functional devices used in several industrial areas. To continuously reinvent this field, new advanced materials are developed every year, with applications in a wide range of industries, including from steel to biomaterials and from structural materials to functional materials. To add more value in the field in recent years, also the nano aspect of the powders is considered. The aim of this Special Issue is to present to the scientific community the discussion forum of researchers in the field of materials science and engineering held in the frame of the 6th International Conference on Powder Metallurgy and Advanced Materials (RoPM&AM2025).
The participants are encouraged to submit original research contributions focused on obtaining methods, characterizations, and applications of nanomaterials and powders. Contributions related to biomaterials and simulations are encouraged as well.
The covered topics may include the following:
- Powder and PM products;
- Advanced materials processing;
- New materials and applications;
- Functional materials;
- Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies;
- Health, safety, and environmental aspects of particulates.

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.
