Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Harsh environments pose significant challenges when it comes to the optimal and safe performance of the materials. Addressing these challenges requires a thorough understanding of the materials and the processes involved. There have been significant efforts from researchers around the world to tackle the challenges, and the availability of such data in one place will be invaluable for future research.
In this context, we are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue on "Materials for Harsh Environments". This Special Issue seeks to gather valuable insights into significant research and innovative developments in nuclear materials, advanced corrosion-resistant alloys, refractory alloys, and strategies for preventing damage in harsh conditions.
We invite researchers, scientists, and engineers to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful case studies that explore the latest advancements. The goal of this Special Issue is to enhance understanding in these fields, contributing to improved safety, efficiency, and longevity.

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.
