Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reliability integrating new multilayered or graded materials in emerging nanoscience, modern energy and biotechnologies require a new level of understanding of the mechanisms involved in microstructure evolution during their processing leading to a wide spectrum of desired properties including high strength, good ductility, high thermal stability and multifunctional surface properties coupled with appropriate interfacial structure and density. Nanoscale multilayers or graded materials are potential candidates for applications that require materials operating in extreme environments taking place in nuclear energy and thermo-solar technologies, micromechanical testing metrologies or biomechanical systems. Nanoscale multilayers or graded materials can be produced by plastic deformation to significant strain and also by various physical and chemical deposition techniques leading, for instance, to multilayer nanocomposites. The understanding of mechanisms associated with processing of such materials has seen significant progress in recent years showing great potential for high-strength applications. However, many issues are still under discussion such as size-dependent deformation and predominant mechanisms, fracture behaviour and design of interface structure in multilayered nanocomposites among others. This special issue highlights many of the abovementioned aspects related to advanced multilayered or graded materials, from mechanisms to applications.

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.
