Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will cover “Novel Composites from Recycled Constituent Materials” and include the processing and characterization of composites manufactured from recycled constituents. These composites exhibit a light weight and high strength, while having a low manufacturing cost. Industry has seen an increasing demand for high-performance, low-cost materials, as well as energy-saving production techniques. Currently, these composites are made up of different pure metallic, non-metallic, alloys, synthetic, hybrid reinforced with different fresh and/or scrap materials, producing tough, corrosion-resistant parts. For example, fresh scraps coming from the manufacturing–production are being used very frequently as the high-performance, high-quality composites through hot compaction, sintering, casting, thixoforming, hot extrusion. Furthermore, many different types of recycled materials, such as glass and carbon fibers, are also being used as extreme reinforcement fillers in recycled materials, to improve the mechanical, physical, and physical–chemical properties for certain applications.
This Special Issue presents a collection of original research and reviews focused on laboratory- and industrial-scale solutions to the sustainable development of novel and environmentally friendly novel composites from recycled constituent materials.

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. Inventions 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 1800 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.
