Advanced Materials for Multifunctional Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The properties of metallic alloys can be controlled via thermal, mechanical, or thermomechanical processes. In recent years, researchers have developed advanced materials with significant improvements in their microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. The impact of different microstructural aspects and corrosion resistance on the mechanical behavior of the alloys is important to study, in order to obtain high-performance materials. The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest achievements in the theoretical and experimental investigations of the microstructural aspects, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance in various metallic materials subjected to different processing methods; the latest advancements relating to their performance for various applications in the medical field, automotive industry, mechatronics and robotics are also highly relevant. This Special Issue aims to address the microstructural evolution and its impact on the mechanical and corrosion properties of advanced engineering alloys. Papers dealing with processing techniques, modeling of the mechanical behavior, characterization of material microstructure, influence of corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, as well as advanced applications, are encouraged. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
