Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In different aspects of mechanical engineering, a variety of advanced materials are used. With the recent technological advancements, advanced materials are being replaced by conventional materials. Nano and biotechnology have been integrated with mechanical engineering systems and designs in a wide range of applications. Lightweight materials have been created with different structures for enhanced efficiency. In addition, 2D materials, functional materials, smart materials, shape memory alloys, phase change materials, naanocomposites, biopolymers, hydrogen storage materials, alloys and compounds, 3D printing materials, fibers and other advanced and novel materials according to the requirement of mechanical engineering applications have been synthesized and characterized. Coating processes are also used to change the properties of materials in real life applications. In this Special Issue, we will highlight the future prospects and challenges of these materials and their applications.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
