Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, we have witnessed a rapid growth in the study of metamaterials, which have attracted increasing attention from researchers not only from the academic community seeking to further understand metamaterials, but also from industries seeking to apply this technology to products. As a kind of novel artificial material, metamaterials exhibit many unusal physical properties and exotic functionalities, such as a negative refraction index, compression–torsion effect, and a negative Possion’s ratio and stiffness, which shows an unprecedented ability to arbitrarily manipulate the properties of waves, including their amplitude, phase, and wave propagation. These features, together with advanced manufacturing methods, such as 3D/4D printing technology, make acoustic and mechanical metamaterials a class of promising materials or structures in physics, materials science, and engineering.
The main theme of this Special Issue is to create a platform for researchers and engineers to promote the research in the exciting field of the design and application of acoustic and mechanical metamaterials. The topics will include, but are not limited to:
- Acoustic and mechanical metamaterials/metasurface;
- Large-scale and hybrid metamaterials design and fabrication;
- Tunable, reconfigurable, and programmable metamaterials;
- Artificial-intelligence-driven metamaterials and device designs;
- Advance in cloaking and invisibility;
- Metamaterials for acoustic sensing and detecting;
- Metamaterials for noise and vibration control;
- Topological insulators.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
