Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced materials’ manufacturing, characterization, and modeling are crucial steps in the development of next-generation materials with improved properties and performance. The manufacturing of advanced materials involves a variety of techniques such as chemical vapor deposition, sol–gel synthesis, and additive manufacturing. Meanwhile, characterization is the process of identifying and understanding the properties of materials, while modeling aims to develop mathematical descriptions of how materials respond to loads.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments in these areas, with a focus on both experimental and theoretical approaches. The Issue will cover a broad range of topics, including the characterization of advanced materials such as nanomaterials and biomaterials, the investigation of their mechanical properties under different loading conditions, and the development of models to describe their behavior. It will provide a valuable platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas and contribute to the advancement of the field of materials science and engineering.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Focuses on new and advanced methods of manufacturing and material processing;
- Additive manufacturing of advanced materials;
- Advanced material characterization techniques;
- Using SEM / TEM, X-ray diffraction/absorption, and associated techniques;
- Microstructure, thermodynamic, and multi-scale modeling;
- Biomaterials and their mechanical properties;
- Nanomaterials and their mechanical properties;
- Fatigue and fracture mechanics of materials.

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.
