Tremendous efforts have been devoted over the past decades to developing nanostructured alloys and composites. Effectively designing their composition and tailoring microstructures allow achieving excellent mechanical performance in these materials. Comprehensive investigation on the microstructure evolution and understanding the structure–properties correlation is of great significance for promoting the development and application of nanostructured materials. This thematic issue aims to release new progress in the design and preparation of nanostructured alloys and composites as well as analysis of their mechanical behavior and properties mechanisms.
In this issue, we invite submissions of original research papers as well as reviews and perspectives that are related to both fundamental and application-oriented studies. Contributions to this thematic issue may include but are not limited to the following topics:
- Novel preparation and processing of alloys, metal matrix and ceramic-based composites;
- Advanced characterization techniques for nanostructures;
- Novel concepts for compositional design and interface engineering;
- State-of-the-art mechanical behavior and performance evaluation methods;
- Modeling and simulation of mechanical behavior and related microstructure evolution;
- Thermodynamic and kinetic studies for the composition design and phase stability control of nanostructured alloys and composites;
- Application and industrial significance of new nanostructured alloys and composites.
Submission deadline: December 31, 2025
