Materials: 10th Anniversary

Dear Colleagues,

We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) in 2017. On behalf of the former Editor in Chief, Prof. Dr. Andreas Taubert, members of the Editorial Office, and ourselves, I want to take the opportunity to thank our authors and reviewers for their valuable contributions and for making Materials a successful and respected journal in the field. To highlight this anniversary, we will be editing a Special Issue that will gather various topics related to materials, as listed below:

• Biomaterials and Biointerface
• Energy Materials
• Advanced Nanomaterials
• Advanced Composites
• Smart Materials
• Thin Films
• Catalytic Materials
• Carbon Materials
• Porous Materials
• Structure Analysis and Characterization
• Manufacturing Processes and Systems

We keep the scope of this Special Issue broad to reflect the diversity and inclusiveness of the original research covered by Materials (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/materials).

On behalf of the co-editor and myself, I warmly invite the Materials community to submit their original work or an up-to-date review to this Special Issue, which will provide to the readership a comprehensive survey of many the topics covered by our discipline.

Prof. Dr. Maryam Tabrizian
