Energetic Materials and Processes

Dear Colleagues,

The special issue on Energetic Materials and Processes brings together scientists from many countries working in universities, research institutes, government laboratories and private industry to discuss state-of-the-art research on new materials and processes for different applications. The main topics of the issue include synthesis of new materials, performance, advanced diagnostics, experimental techniques, theoretical approaches, and computational models for simulating the behaviour of energetic materials under a wide variety of conditions. The issue is a platform for presenting cutting edge fundamental research in chemistry and physics of materials and processes associated with fast chemical processes, frontal high energy reactions, supersonic reactions, ageing, thermal decomposition and mechanical damage of energetics, as well as utilisation and safety of energetic materials, new materials for anti-terroristic activity, new materials for space transportation systems, new technologies of energetic materials in medicine, forensic, mining and civil engineering.

Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an Open Access journal of materials science. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The journal is indexed by SCIE, EI, Scopus, and gets high visibility. The 2016 impact factor is 2.654.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Prof. Alexey Kondyurin
Guest Editor

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.
