Advanced Materials for Defense: From Textiles to Composites, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Research and development (R&D) on advanced materials for defense is being driven all over the world by the most renowned universities, research centers, military institutes, and companies, in order to meet important requirements to enhance the safety and survivability of platforms and personnel, along with requirements for enhanced maintainability and operability of platforms.

This Special Issue focuses on advanced materials research in the forward-looking R&D domain, where the intersection of key technologies in areas such as nano- and micro-technology, biotechnology, sensor technology, stealth materials, smart materials and structures, and energy generation and storage is being explored.

Hence, the aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research and review articles that address these topics and include advances, trends, challenges, and future perspectives in established and emerging areas of defense.
