Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancements in material science have ushered in a new era of innovation, particularly in the development of alloys, composites, and hybrid materials. The ability to enhance reinforcement and wear behaviour through the strategic addition or modification of elements is paramount for achieving superior performance in a wide range of applications, from aerospace and automotive to industrial machinery and medical devices.
This topic delves into the transformative impact of these modifications, exploring the various methods used to develop materials with optimized properties. By examining techniques such as solid solution strengthening, precipitation hardening, surface treatments, powder metallurgy, mechanical alloying, and the creation of metal matrix composites and functionally graded materials, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art strategies in material enhancement.
This Special Issue will address the above-mentioned points in relation to materials, methods characterisation, performance and properties of advanced alloys or composites or hybrids to offer an insight into the future of field of materials. We invite you to engage with this discussion, share your insights, and contribute to the collective understanding of how these advancements are shaping the future of material engineering. Your expertise and perspectives are invaluable as we explore the intricate relationships between elemental modifications, microstructural changes, and their resultant effects on reinforcement and wear behaviour.

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. Journal of Composites Science 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 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.
