Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since industrial development began, materials processing is central to the field of materials science and engineering, and is a vital step in manufacturing. Materials processing is an important process for realizing the structural features (e.g., crystal structure, microstructure, size, and shape) required for the product to perform well in the intended application by properly utilizing and designing the composition of a given material. It involves a complex series of chemical, thermal, and physical processes that prepare a starting material, create a shape, retain that shape, and refine the structure and shape. The conversion of the starting material to the final product occurs in three steps: preparation of the starting material, processing operation, and post-processing operation(s). Recently, trends in the high-tech industry are pushing toward miniaturization, the creation of products with complex shapes, and multi-functional materials. To keep up with ever-increasing demands, materials processing has been continuously advancing in terms of production, efficiency and performance qualification.
The main aim of the Special Issue is to discuss the topics of processing, manufacturing, structure/property relationship and applications in advanced materials. All of the single phase and alloy, and composite materials in metals, ceramics, and polymers are of interest.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue.
Dr. Hansang Kwon

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. Materials 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 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.
