Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alloy materials are one of the most common inorganic materials and are widely used in a variety of high-stress environments, such as aerospace components, automotive parts and medical devices. These applications demand the mechanical properties of the material. In recent years, new synthetic technologies have been used in the manufacturing process of alloy materials, such as additive manufacturing and cryomilling, which can create nanostructured alloys with tailored microstructures to enhance the mechanical properties of the material.
However, the increasingly changing environment presents more serious challenges for nanostructured alloys, such as further enhancement of strength-ductility synergies, extraordinary strain hardening, enhanced fracture and fatigue resistance, and significant wear and corrosion resistance. Although some recently reported innovative methods, such as the introduction of precipitates, can significantly improve the mechanical properties of nanostructured alloys, more extensive exploration of their mechanical properties and applications is still urgently needed. As motivated by this, the Research Topic welcomes articles on, but not limited to, the following list of subjects, calling for either experimental and/or modelling results:
- Alloy design and microstructure control
- Mechanical properties and microstructure-property relationships
- Atomistic simulations on nanostructure alloys
- Characterization of nanostructure alloys
- Processing methods for strengthening nanostructure alloys
- Study of Strengthening mechanisms of nanostructure alloys
- Progress in nanostructure alloys: the new development in controlling and characterization technologies of nanostructure alloys, the development of new methods for strengthening nanostructure alloys and novelty applications for nanostructure alloys

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
