Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, 3D architectured materials have been attracting attention due to their increasing potential and applications, such as the removal of pollutants, resistance to corrosion and to wear, catalysis, superwettability, manufacturing, thermal stability, biocompatibility, or even combinations of these properties to produce functional materials. In order to obtain these properties, different strategies have been applied to build up these combined structures at the submillimeter scale, microscale or nanoscale.
This Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers (articles, reviews, etc.) regarding innovative approaches that can be used to transform materials by means of physical, chemical, thermal or mechanical processes, providing different and innovative properties caused by material modification or functionalization. These improvements will be focused on developing successful engineering products and parts; some new strategies will also contribute to solving environmental issues.
The following points summarize the main goals of this Special Issue:
- Treatments to confer 3D structured materials: mechanical and thermomechanical processes, chemical etching, phase separation, electrodeposition, diffusion processes, etc.
- Characterization of engineered materials such as tribological properties, corrosion resistance, phase morphology, structure, or composition.
- Additive manufacturing or 3D printing (metals, ceramics, polymers, or composites).
- Applications of 3D structured materials: catalysis, superwettability, tribology, adhesion, biocompatibility, etc.
Other topics that are not listed here but could be related to 3D structured materials are also welcomed.

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.
