Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of "green" pyrotechnics, which are environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional pyrotechnic materials, has been a growing focus in the field of pyrotechnics. This advancement involves the careful selection and design of materials that are less harmful to the environment and human health. Researchers are exploring various options such as using non-toxic oxidizers and fuels, as well as reducing the heavy metal content in pyrotechnic formulations. Through incorporating these sustainable materials into pyrotechnic compositions, the goal is to create pyrotechnics that produce less toxic byproducts and emissions while still maintaining the desired visual and auditory effects. Although challenges remain in terms of the performance and cost, ongoing research and development efforts are making significant strides towards the realization of "green" pyrotechnics. Ultimately, the development of environmentally friendly pyrotechnics has the potential to not only reduce the environmental impact of pyrotechnic displays, but also to contribute to a cleaner and safer future for all.

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.
