Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced composite materials are lightweight and high strength and have designable performance. Further advantages include their heat insulation, heat conduction, vibration reduction, high (low) temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and wave transmission and absorption. The composites are widely used in aerospace, transportation, energy, and chemical industries, as well as in construction, textiles, sports, and medical treatment, and have played an important role in the development of modern science and technology and the renewal and upgrading of high-end equipment. The material is also one of the core contents of the modern low-carbon economy. Since monolithic materials are no longer state-of-the-art, composite materials represent an emerging future with many industrial applications, particularly where superior material properties are required.
This Special Issue on “Advances in Preparation Methods and Numerical Simulation of Composites: Formation and Properties” intends to cover original research and critical review articles on recent advances in all aspects of metal–metal, metal–nonmetal, and nonmetal–nonmetal composites.
In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Material composition design;
- The design and manufacturing process;
- Microstructure and properties;
- Interfacial diffusion behavior;
- Microstructure characterization of constituent phases;
- Physical and chemical properties;
- Modeling and simulation.

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.
