Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metamaterials are a novel type of functional material, based on unique patterns or structures that enable them to interact with light and other sources of energy in ways that are not found in natural materials. The internal structure determines the properties of these artificially engineered composite materials, rather than the chemical composition inherent in natural materials. As a result, metamaterial structures provide characteristics and capabilities that are difficult to achieve when using conventional materials. The extraordinary effect that metamaterials have on light travelling through them is the key reason for the intense interest that they attract. Due to their unique acoustical, electromagnetic, optical, and mechanical properties, metamaterial technology has the potential to benefit almost every field of research and technology, including telecommunications, defense, biomedical imaging, sensing, optical computing, etc.
This Special Issue aims to offer a timely platform for exhibiting the current work on metamaterial-based applications, including fundamental research, as well as for discussing breakthroughs in theory, numerical modeling, and experiments. Original research articles and topical reviews on subjects associated with metamaterials are also encouraged. The novel material characteristics and device capabilities enabled by metamaterial technology advances the development of the future electronic industry.

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.
