Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will cover “Novel Composites from Recycled Materials”, and includes processing and characterization of composites manufactured from recycled materials. These composites exhibit a light weight and high strength, while having a low manufacturing cost. Industry has seen an increasing demand for high performance, low cost materials, as well as energy-saving production techniques.
As engineers, we are challenged to design with confidence for long-term performance applications. Many composites manufactured from recycled materials, such as huge scrap metallic (steel, aluminum, bronze, etc.) chips, offer the light weight, strength and durability needed for aircraft and automotive applications
Currently, these composites often are made up of different pure and/or alloys, reinforced with ground scrap materials, producing tough, corrosion-resistant parts. For example, machining chips are being used very frequently as the metal matrix for high performance, high quality composites through sintering, casting, thixoforming, hot extrusion, etc. Furthermore, many different types of recycled materials, such as glass and carbon fibers, are also being used as extreme reinforcement fillers in recycled metallic materials, to improve the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties for certain applications.
With these ideas in mind, we will collect different scientific reports, reviews, full research papers, technical papers, and experimental and numerical works under this Special Issue of Metals.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
