Materials for Extreme Environments
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is a strong need for high-performance materials that can withstand extreme environments to enable new technologies to meet the increasing global demand for energy, improve health, and enable exploration of new frontiers on this planet as well as beyond. Some of these extreme environments involve very high or very low temperatures, high pressures, deformation at high strain rates, nuclear and electromagnetic radiation, and corrosion and oxidation, to name a few. A fundamental understanding of material response, performance degradation, and failure initiation is critical since materials can behave in very unpredictable ways when placed in these extreme environments. We would like to invite academics and researchers to contribute to this Special Issue on “Materials for Extreme Environments”, which is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum covering material response in extreme environments of myriad forms. The potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Cryogenic and Refractory Materials
- Nuclear and Solar Energy Materials
- Materials for Biological Environments
- Corrosion and Materials Degradation
- Energy Storage under Extreme Environments
- Modeling and Simulations of Materials under Extreme Environments
- Computational Approaches to Understanding Materials Degradation
- High Strain-rate Deformation and Shock Physics
- Ceramic Materials for Extreme Environments
- Sensor Materials for Extreme Environments

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
