Advanced Materials and Manufacturing for Extreme Environments in Energy and Aerospace

Dear Colleagues,

The Guests Editors are pleased to announce the Topic entitled “Advanced Materials and Manufacturing for Extreme Environments in Energy and Aerospace”.

This Topic will spotlight cutting-edge research and technological advancements that are shaping the future of energy and aerospace materials and manufacturing processes. As the energy and aerospace industries evolve to meet the demands of next-generation energy, space exploration, aircraft, and sustainable aviation, the development of high-performance materials and innovative manufacturing techniques has become increasingly critical.

This Topic aims to bring together contributions that address these challenges through novel materials, smart manufacturing, and integrated design approaches that endure extreme environments. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies on topics including, but not limited to the following:

• Extreme-temperature and lightweight materials for energy and aerospace applications.
• Advanced and additive manufacturing of components for energy systems, air vehicles, and spacecraft.
• Materials characterization and performance under extreme conditions of temperature, corrosion, catalysis, plasma, and radiation exposure.
• Metals, composite materials, and multifunctional structures.
• Advanced integrated coatings and surface engineering.
• Digital manufacturing, AI-driven process and composition control, AI-driven design, advanced materials, and Industry 4.0 in energy and aerospace.

All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure scientific excellence and relevance. Accepted papers will be published open access to maximize visibility and impact within the global research community.
