Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of microwave energy in material processing is now widely used for a variety of materials including ceramics, metals, polymers, composites, biomaterials, etc. However, success in the laboratory has not been, in many cases, translated to the marketplace. Recent new areas of microwave energy applications include powder metals, steel making, the sintering of 3D-printed objects, and used-tire recycling. However, the commercialization of microwave technology in these areas has not yet been successful. This Special Issue will accept original manuscripts on microwave energy applications to these and related fields. Special attention will be paid to manuscripts involving innovative techniques leading to their commercialization.
With immense pleasure, we invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications and reviews are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Dinesh Agrawal

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.
