Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A powerful tool of tailoring properties of glassy materials (glasses and glass ceramics) is to subject these to external influences such as heat treatment, ion exchange, a DC and AC electric (or magnetic) field, stress and deformation, extrusion, any type of irradiation, ion implantation, etc., which result in modification of either their structure or composition, or any properties, including thermal, mechanical, chemical, optical, electric, or others. These modifications of glassy materials are of interest in the context of developing modern technologies related to graded-index optics, diffractive optics, plasmonics, fluidics, electrooptic and non-linear optic materials and devices, lithography, as well as photonics and optical communications. This Special Issue, “Modification of Glasses and Glass-Ceramics”, will address advances in glassy material processing, characterization, and modeling, as well as technology development and applications of glassy materials modified by various types of external influence. Articles and reviews are 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 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.
