Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of new materials and the research on their applications are interdisciplinary. This is due to the need to study and make decisions for various relationships between the structure, properties, and functions of various types of materials. In addition, analyses and research on materials, including the processes of their creation, are concerned with the stabilization of the quality of materials, as well as taking actions in accordance with the principles of production activities and sustainable development. They are explored in the areas of production engineering science, mechanical engineering, and materials engineering, as well as the aforementioned area of sustainable development. There is a need to adapt materials and processes in accordance with the factories of the future, working with the idea of sustainable development, i.e., developing towards Industry 5.0. This includes investigating trends in advanced materials activities related to the environment, society, and the economy in many fields of engineering science. This is in line with the so-called greening of production, i.e., making decisions supporting the reduction in natural resources, pollution, and waste, as well as the reuse of materials and reducing emissions in processes. Modern practices of sustainable production in the area of materials are in great demand as they contribute to the increase in the competitiveness of enterprises. However, dynamic market changes make the simultaneous research and development of materials in terms of quality and the environment difficult. Therefore, it is crucial to make decisions that will ensure the development and improvement of materials and processes in a way that is safe for the environment and at the same time meets the expectations of the market. Articles on improvements, including, but not limited to, material decision-making and its use in mechanical, energy, and environmental solutions and novel manufacturing techniques are particularly welcome.

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:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
