Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I propose a Special Issue on the advances in materials under extreme conditions. Recently, fossil fuel-based conventional fuels have been converted to eco-friendly alternative fuels such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquid hydrogen (LH2), and ammonia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, it is necessary to apply advanced materials because these fuels require storage in much more extreme conditions than conventional oil-based fuels. For example, materials adopting LNG storage systems should overcome cryogenic embrittlement, because LNG should be stored at temperatures below -163 degrees Celsius. In addition, materials adopting hydrogen storage systems should have a physical performance sufficient to overcome cryogenic and hydrogen embrittlement. When adopting those gas-based fuels, we should also consider the risk of fire and explosion accidents. Materials to be considered in this Special Issue extend from metals to composite materials, either from experimental, theoretical, or numerical simulation approaches regarding advanced materials that can withstand extreme environments such as cryogenic temperatures, fires, explosions, and hydrogen embrittlement. It is my pleasure to invite anyone interested to contribute to the Special Issue. Original full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcomed.

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.
