Special Issue Information
The main interest of many research centers is the preparation of new, modern, and technologically advanced materials that are cheap, easily available, operate effectively, and minimize process times. This Special Edition, entitled Future Trends in Chemical Engineering Science: Coatings; Additive Manufacturing, Composites and Inorganic Materials, is devoted to the characterization of new types of materials and their composites’ syntheses and modifications, mainly intended to solve environmental and medical problems. Additive manufacturing is today one of the hottest words in the world of technology for the manufacturing industry. This technology allows for much more effective use of material resources than is the case under conventional methods. Additive manufacturing is a technology that uses 3D printing to build new products "layer by layer". At the moment, details produced on 3D printers are widely used in medicine and other industries. Modern coatings are products that use innovative technologies. These coatings perfectly protect against mechanical damage. For example, they can have exceptional hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties. They provide very good protection against UV rays, weather conditions, and various types of chemicals. The publication should contain descriptions of the properties and synthesis of modern, innovative materials. In order to improve their functionality, e.g., adsorption capacity, selectivity, and others. Articles containing reviews and research results are welcome.
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.
