Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hybrid material systems have gained much interest in various industries in the recent past, including aerospace and automotive. Weldment behavior and vehicle weight have been major concerns in the automotive and aerospace sectors. Incorporating metal-polymer/ceramic/composite hybrid structures reduces weight without compromising structural performance. High energy density and solid-state welding techniques are beneficial for joining various dissimilar materials systems. The major problem associated with the welding of different materials systems is the formation of secondary phases, which leads to premature weldment failures. Unfortunately, there have been very few studies covering these challenges yet. This Special Issue aims to present the major challenges in the field of joining technologies for various grades of materials systems, such as metal-polymer/metal-ceramic/ metal-composite, etc.

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.
