Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in materials science have significant roles in the fields of engineering, especially for applications in ocean engineering involving structures and devices with requirements for specific material properties and problems for applications in ocean environments. The oceans have long been recognized as an essential part of the global environment. Covering more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, the oceans affect all life on Earth directly as well as indirectly. Ocean engineering is a very challenging field that addresses the use of this vast ocean frontier while striving to protect the same ocean environment and marine life. Materials deterioration and damage caused by interactions with diversified and severe ocean environments point to the need for greater advances in the area of materials science. Advances in the development of novel materials with unprecedented optical, thermal, and mechanical properties would contribute significantly to a wide array of multiple ocean engineering, civil, and defense applications. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an original and unique environment for researchers in academia and industry to share and discuss their cutting-edge results on novel materials that have potential for use/adoption in the context of harsh ocean environments.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 2600 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.
