Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wear- and corrosion-resistant composites and coatings based on these materials are widely used in aerospace engineering, power generation, biotechnology, and medicine. Composite materials on a metal or polymer base hardened with second phases of different nature and synthesized using special processing technologies allow the formation of final products with unique properties. The continuously growing market stimulates material scientists, process engineers, and software developers to create new composites with further improved chemical formulae, phase balance, and properties. This requires new knowledge on the fundamental aspects of chemical design and the optimization of processing parameters.
Research on advanced composites with unique properties, specific microstructure and phase composition, as well as the study of structure–property–performance relationships is a rapidly growing field. These studies frequently require a substantial experimental database. However, recent achievements in computer modeling significantly speed up the design process, reducing the time between the idea creation and the product manufacturing and sales. Modern software packages allow quick optimization of chemical composition, microstructure, and processing parameters. This brings invaluable help in case of such new technologies as additive manufacturing (3D printing), where the experimental database is relatively small compared to traditional technologies based on powder sintering.
In this Issue, we address the following topics:
- Recent advancements in chemistry of composite materials leading to increased wear and corrosion resistance;
- Microstructure and phase balance, in particular effect of the spatial distribution and morphology of strengthening agents (fibers, whiskers, particles) on properties;
- New methods and machines for testing wear and corrosion resistance;
- Computer modeling software for material and process design;
- Novel processing technologies for composite materials, such as additive manufacturing, powder spray, laser treatment.

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).
