Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, the treatment of various materials with microwaves is a mature and industrially viable technology that has numerous applications due to its advantages and unique capabilities (e.g., energy efficiency, precise control of the heated area, volumetric heating, etc.) compared to conventional heating. Active research in the field of microwave processing continues to be a driving force for the continuous improvement in the techniques used and their applications to novel and advanced materials.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the latest advances in the processing of materials with microwaves and to assess the prospects for further advances in science and technology in this field. The articles published within in this Special Issue should aim to cover the following topics:
- Sources of electromagnetic radiation (magnetrons, gyrotrons) used for microwave treatment.
- Technological systems for microwave processing and their components (applicators, process control units, devices for measuring the dielectric properties of the treated materials, etc.).
- Microwave properties of materials and their characterization.
- Processing of advanced ceramics, glasses, metals, and powders.
- Non-thermal effects during microwave irradiation.
- Microwave irradiation in organic synthesis.
- Physical models of thermal treatment with microwaves and numerical simulations of the underlying processes.

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.
