Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Scientists and engineers today recognize the importance of innovation in material use for economic and environmental reasons. Functionally graded materials are advanced materials with gradual transitions in microstructure and composition. FGM structures can be efficiently designed to obtain a specific performance or function by changing the spatial gradation in composition, allowing the designer to tailor the required physical and mechanical properties and the corresponding structural behavior. The development of accurate models and efficient optimization techniques applied to the design of FGM structures are important topics of research. However, additionally, the challenges related to the manufacturing techniques are also major topics of research. From this perspective, this Special Issue aims to contribute to this research area by presenting the most relevant advances and prospects in all aspects of the design and manufacturing of functionally graded materials.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
