Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since high-entropy alloys (HEAs) were proposed, they have drawn extensive attention and brought many opportunities and challenges to the field of materials science. Recently, this concept has been rapidly and widely extended to ceramics, polymers, composites, etc., which are forming a new emerging material system named high-entropy materials (HEMs). Numerous studies have shown that large degrees of freedom in composition design and process design have been found to provide more possibilities and turnability for HEMs to overcome the bottlenecks of conventional materials and realize a broad range of microstructure and properties for practical applications, such as aerospace, corrosion engineering, energy conversion and storage, catalysis, superconductivity and thermoelectricity, and so on. To date, HEMs are continuously expanding, and a large number of new materials with unique properties and functions are being developed and applied in the potential fields. The present Special Issue aims to collect insightful papers on the latest development of HEMs. The topics include but are not limited to material design, preparation methods, microstructure characterizations, mechanical behaviors, physical and chemical properties, and the structural and functional applications of HEMs.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
