Dear Colleagues,

To boost the development of modern technologies, the better performance of broad spectrum devices, research methods and computational approaches are prerequisite. To enhance the function and performance of the devices, the physics and mechanics investigation of related materials, composites, and applications is critical. The present Special Issue aims to explore new trends in these scientific and technical areas. A certain number of contributions for this Special Issue will come from selected papers of PHENMA 2023, the 11th International Conference on "Physics and Mechanics of New Materials and Their Applications" (PHENMA 2023),

4–7 October, 2023, http://phenma2023.sfedu.ru/

Topics of interest (among others) include:

Materials: ferro-piezoelectrics, semiconductors, superconductors, environmental materials, composite, ceramics, thin films, nanomaterials, advanced materials for additive manufacturing, metal engineering materials, functionally graded materials, etc.

Synthesis and Processing: powder processing, processing technologies, piezoelectric technologies, MEMS-processing, etc.

Characterization and Research Methods: material design, microstructure properties, chemical properties, physical properties, mechanical properties, strength properties, finite-element modeling, mathematical modeling, physical modeling, physical experiment, etc.

Applications: MEMS, hetero-structures, piezotransducers, energy harvesting, superconductive devices, light-emitting diodes, multimedia communication, fiber-reinforced composites, construction health monitoring, lubricant and tribology, etc.

Underwater Technologies: underwater communication, marine engineering, power system, ocean energy, etc.

Biomedical Engineering: medical materials, nanotechnology in medicine, medical instrumentation, physical methods in medicine, waste, biological product processing, etc.

Industry and Management: CAD/CAM/CAE application, industrial instruments, EDM, materials machining, machines, design and building constructions, 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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
