Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Materials science and engineering is a cross-disciplinary subject that focuses on how materials behave and how their structure controls their behavior. Deeper knowledge into the relationships between fundamental science and different groups of materials (e.g., ceramics, composites, metals, and polymers) can be engineered to achieve better performance.
The focus of this Special Issue is placed on Feature Review Papers in Materials Science and Engineering. Therefore, we aim to collect comprehensive reviews relating to this area. This Special Issue aims to improve the international exchange of scientific knowledge in materials science and technology, encompassing metallic materials; ceramics and glasses; composites; and polymers.
Contributions that focus on emergent materials as well as research on nanomaterials and biomaterials are particularly welcome.
In view of your outstanding research in this field, we are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue and submit your excellent work.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Maria Pia Ferraz
Dr. Ana Catarina Silva
