Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Applied Chemical Engineering, entitled “Current Trends in Synthesis, Characterization and Applications of Novel Amorphous Materials” aims to publish original manuscripts and critical reviews focusing on addressing and presenting the current trends which are emerging in the field of novel amorphous materials with emphasis regarding their synthesis, characterization, and applications.
The advancement of the uses of amorphous materials for various applications, such as speciality glasses possessing enhanced mechanical properties, amorphous metals which demonstrate superior properties with respect to their crystalline counterparts but also amorphous polymers that have found numerous uses in today’s applications have recently attracted a lot of scientific interest. Manuscripts who are dealing with the synthesis of novel compositions, novel synthesis methods and link their structural characteristics with possible applications of amorphous materials are warmly welcomed.
In order to address the complicated technological needs for today’s amorphous materials we need to investigate their compositions, synthesis methods and link their structural characteristics with possible applications. Especially when we are dealing with glasses for portable devices, screens and car interior panels or amorphous metals, for uses in highly corrosive environments and space applications but also amorphous polymers for special uses in industrial processes and manufacturing there is a constant search for novel amorphous materials.
Manuscripts proposing novel synthetic methods for amorphous materials synthesis, novel compositions for amorphous materials exhibiting novel properties but also manuscripts elucidating the structural characteristics of amorphous materials with novel properties are especially encouraged to be submitted in this special issue.
