Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, both selected papers from the 13th International Conference on Modern Technologies in Industrial Engineering (https://www.modtech.ro, June 11-14, Zakopane, Poland) and external contributions will be published. The word count of manuscripts submitted to Micromachines should be extended by at least 40% compared with those of the conference proceedings.
The current state of manufacturing technology is essentially attributed to the many gradual advancements made in earlier inventions over the years. Modern tools and appliances are the result of technological breakthroughs, and have made daily life more straightforward than we ever could have imagined.
Modern technology has quickly become an essential element of our lives due to its rapid development. Currently, everything we use in our daily lives is connected to technology, either directly or indirectly; we could not avoid technology even if we tried. Whether they are assisting workers or doing the work themselves, machines are more accurate and efficient than people. As a result, we are making use of them to make our daily tasks easier. The key aim of corporations is to streamline procedures in order for more work to be completed in less time and with less effort, which has laid the foundation for contemporary technology.
Because of global issues like resources for new industrial applications, smart manufacturing, and energy efficiency in manufacturing, new perspectives on modern technology and material development are becoming more and more important in the field of material science and manufacturing process and technology research. Thus, a large number of researchers are actively investigating novel/biomaterials, gadgets, processing technologies, and modern manufacturing in order to enable advancements across a wide range of industrial applications.
The focus of this conference was primarily on technology, material characterization, and industrial applications. We would like to extend this focus by welcoming the submission of papers on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Engineering of manufacturing processes: novel manufacturing methods, advances in nontraditional manufacturing processes, virtual manufacturing, advanced methods and tools for computer-integrated manufacturing, new industrial applications, smart manufacturing, and energy efficiency in manufacturing.
- Advances in composite materials and technologies: advanced metals, ceramics and polymers, biomaterials, and the recycling of materials.
- Micro- and nanotechnologies: new developments in micro-/nanoscale processes, the fabrication of nanostructures and materials, nanofilms, nanobubbles, nanodroplets, and nanofluids.

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.
