Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume of "Micro/Nano Manufacturing Processes: Theories and Optimization Techniques” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/processes/special_issues/LN028R4O8S).
Manufacturing at the micro/nano scale offers many opportunities regarding the fabrication of micro and nano structures or the manufacture of high-precision components, and it has therefore attracted considerable attention in fields such as optics, electronics, precision instruments, semiconductors and biomedical engineering. Over the years, researchers have endeavored to investigate micro/nano manufacturing processes, but fully understanding these micro/nano manufacturing processes remains challenging; this is because the deformation mechanism of materials at the micro/nano scale is different to the deformation mechanisms present at the macro scale. Therefore, this Special Issue, entitled “Micro/nano Manufacturing Processes: Theories and Optimization Techniques (2nd Edition)”, is dedicated to the theories and optimization techniques that can be applied to micro/nano manufacturing processes, and welcomes the submission of original research or review articles. Meanwhile, we invite you to promote the journal among your colleagues, and invite them to publish in this Special Issue.
This Special Issue aims to address some of the challenges related to the application of theories and optimization techniques in micro/nano manufacturing processes. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Micro/nano manufacturing technologies, such as ultraprecision machining, photolithography, etching, ion beam machining, microforming, micromolding, etc.
- Theories and simulation analyses of micro/nano manufacturing;
- Molecular dynamic simulation of nano manufacturing;
- Methods for the optimization of micro/nano manufacturing processes;
- Size effects in micro/nano manufacturing;
- Micro/nano additive manufacturing;
- Non-conventional micro machining processes;
- Fabrication technologies and applications of nanomaterials;
- The application of micro/nano components or systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
