Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microstructured surfaces are critical in advancing technologies across various sectors, including electronics, optics, and biomedical devices. As industries are increasingly demanding components with complex geometries and superior surface finishes, ultra-precision manufacturing techniques are essential. This Special Issue aims to explore the development and applications of machining processes for microstructured surfaces, such as precision machining, advanced abrasive techniques, molding, and hybrid processing approaches. We encourage submissions that provide insights into theoretical frameworks, experimental investigations, and practical applications that demonstrate the effectiveness of these techniques. By bringing together researchers and practitioners, this Special Issue hopes to foster knowledge exchange and stimulate further research in the manufacturing of microstructured surfaces.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
