Selected Papers from the International Symposium on Materials Chemistry (ISyMC’18)

Dear Colleagues,

The success of the first edition in 2016 prompted the organizers to renew the proposed format. Thus, for three days, four topics will be to identified and developed in different scientific disciplines concerned with the chemistry of materials for sustainable development.

Today, with the emergence of research centers and laboratories, it is imperative to find solutions to the problems posed, and to project them for the years to come, and to continue the ongoing research efforts towards new surveys.

Several actors from different universities around the world are invited to participate in this event. The following research areas and applications are very important:

• Materials (advanced, functional, intelligent, composites, nanomaterials and nanocomposites, green composites, etc.)
• Structures (solids mechanics, applied mechanics, mechanics, plasticity dynamics, fatigue and fracture, structural mechanics, acoustics and vibrations, etc.)
• Non-destructive testing (conventional testing, non-destructive testing, optical engineering, complete field measurement, microstructure characterization techniques, etc.)
• Processing (influence of processes on materials, layer composition, coatings and surface engineering, surface treatment on manufacturing and structural applications, assembly, recycling, etc.)
• Submissions of original research articles will be done after selection by the scientific committee, according to the evaluation of your presentation on the day of symposium

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
