Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Designing, manufacturing, and defining new applications for multilayer materials offer great prospects for contemporary constructions. Multilayer materials have unique advantages over monolithic materials, such as high strength, high stiffness, low density, and the ability to adapt to the intended function of the structure. The main aim of the production of layered materials is usually to obtain materials with increased strength properties, in particular increased fatigue strength, as well as increased fracture resistance, ballistic resistance, chemical resistance, and resistance to environmental factors. Research is still ongoing on the selection of appropriate materials and innovative techniques for combining various materials. The enormous potential of multilayer materials allows obtaining a wide range of properties that have advantages over monolithic materials. It is, therefore, logical to attempt to obtain the greatest possible reduction of mass in relation to the bearing capacity (durability) of engineering structures. An additional factor significantly influencing the development directions of modern construction materials is the continuous increase in the requirements of optimized production processes and the introduction of increasingly stringent safety standards and norms for finished products.
The proposed Special Issue will cover all areas related to theory and methodology, science, technology, and functional and structural applications of multilayer materials. The Special Issue includes combinations of metals and alloys, polymer matrices, ceramics, and materials produced using additive techniques, e.g., 3D printing.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
