Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid increases in heat fluxes within small areas in microelectronic, defense, energy, solar and medical components have prompted an urgent need for microscale heat and mass transfer. These areas have attracted widespread research interest in the last three to four decades. Nevertheless, underlying problems in the selection, design and fabrication of materials pose severe challenges for practical applications of microscale heat and mass transfer in high heat flux dissipations. To address the above mentioned issue, numerous efforts have been made in terms of the design and fabrication of microscale heat and mass transfer devices, and significant enhancement in microscale heat and mass transfer has been achieved. This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of the latest research and findings in the selection, design and fabrication of materials for use in microscale heat and mass transfer.

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.
