Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Devices and objects, both for general use and the most advanced, require various materials with different properties to produce them. New advanced materials play an important role in the development of the modern world. It is often their development that enables progress in a given field of technology. Without the development of modern materials, there would be no modern devices capable of working in various, often extreme, trouble-free conditions. Thanks to these materials, industries such as machinery, foundry, automotive, aviation, energy, defense, and electronics would not develop so dynamically and would not provide more and more reliable, economical and ecological solutions.
The purpose of the Special Issue articles is to provide knowledge and skills in the field of material design, manufacturing, processing and shaping their properties and functional characteristics, testing their quality, selecting for specific applications, and controlling their condition from the moment of production to its end of use and recycling with the application of recycling principles (circular economy). The aim of the publication is to present the influence of various parameters of the manufacturing process on the structure and mechanical, technological, physical, chemical, corrosive and functional properties of advanced materials. This Special Issue will include articles on progress in the development of technology for the production of modern materials, both metal and composite, ceramics and polymers. Furthermore, issues related to the recycling of materials, and recovery of base ingredients for application in newly created compositions, will be a platform for presenting achievements in this field. Additionally, articles dealing with issues related to the use of these materials in 3D printing, their repair by welding, laser melting, etc. will be 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.
