Cutting-Edge Research Trends in (Non)Metallic Materials: Design, Testing and Application

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit your work to this Topic on “Cutting-Edge Research Trends in (Non)Metallic Materials: Design, Testing and Application”. The scope of it includes the design, obtaining and characterization of (non)metallic materials, covering the most recent advances in industries with relevant practical applications.

In a world where global challenges and advances in technology bring both uncertainty and new possibilities, researchers have a critical role to play that helps enable new discoveries. The use of (non)metallic materials in various industries is important for the further development of materials for durable, lightweight and corrosion-resistant structural components.

This interdisciplinary Topic, “Cutting-Edge Research Trends in (Non)Metallic Materials: Design, Testing and Application”, has been put together to present the latest experimental and theoretical achievements in the field through a combination of original research papers as well as comprehensive reviews that address relevant state-of-the-art topics in the areas of the economy, medical applications, the environment, the decrease in minerals and energy, green industry, etc. The main interest of this Topic Issue reflects the improvement of the properties of these materials by design, testing and application.

In this Topic, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Advanced engineering cementitious composites.
• The obtaining/mechanical coating/alloying/treatment of all types of biomaterials used for medical applications: metallic, ceramics, polymers and composites.
• The modeling and simulation of advanced engineering cementitious composites.
• The characterization of sustainable concrete and alternative cementitious binders.
• The additive manufacturing of oxidic and ceramic materials.
• The life cycle assessment of waste-based materials.
