Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cavitation deals with the nucleation, growth, and rapid implosive collapse of gas and vapor-filled microbubbles in a liquid subjected to depression. This phenomenon has different origins, including, for instance, acoustic, hydrodynamic, and optical cavitation. While cavitation can generate unwanted harmful conditions in some cases (e.g., hydraulic machineries), the extreme conditions generated at collapse may offer a potentially interesting alternative for surface treatment while providing specific chemical and/or physical effects. Examples taken from recent literature indeed describe the use of cavitation for the fragmentation and erosion of solids, dissolution of refractory materials, depassivation of metallic surfaces, functionalization of material surfaces, decontamination or structuring of materials, cleaning and disinfection of surfaces, etc. This Special Issue aims at gathering recent advances dealing with cavitation-induced surface treatment from the fundamental exploration of the mechanisms involved at the interface to surface manipulation, including interesting applications and innovations. This edition also aims to bring together different communities that do not often interact in order to help new research ideas and directions around the effect of cavitation at the solid/liquid interface to flourish.

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.
