Cellular Metals: Fabrication, Properties and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to a forthcoming Special Issue, “Cellular Metals: Fabrication, Properties and Applications”, in Metals (open access journal, Impact Factor: 1.704, http://www.mdpi.com/journal/metals).

Cellular solids and porous metals have become the most promising lightweight multifunctional materials, being used in a wide range of commercial, biomedical, industrial and military applications. This is due to the superior combination of properties derived from their porous cellular structures together with the excellent properties of the metals. In contrast with other cellular materials, the cellular metals are non-flammable, recyclable, extremely tough and are excellent energy absorbers.

This Special Issue is focused on:

• recent advances in novel manufacturing methods of cellular metals,
• design of new or improved performances of the cellular structures,
• geometrical characterization and determination of physical properties,
• experimental testing, numerical simulations and optimization methods,
• applications.

We welcome contributions, including review manuscripts from experimentalists, theorists, and computational scientists in this research field.

Publication is subject to the usual conditions set forth by MDPI as the publisher of the journal. This includes the peer review process as well as publication fees. Details may be found on the journal’s website at http://www.mdpi.com/journal/metals.

Should you need any further information about this Special Issue, please do not hesitate to contact us.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
