Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) have emerged as a transformative class of materials, finding applications in various fields, from healthcare to aerospace. As research in this area continues to advance, a dynamic online presence becomes crucial to keep researchers, engineers, and practitioners informed about the latest developments.
This Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing research of the highest quality. We are confident that this Special Issue, entitled "Shape Memory Alloys: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives", will offer valuable research insights for shape memory alloy enthusiasts. We eagerly invite you to contribute to this Special Issue. We invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners to contribute original research articles and review manuscripts on the following topics (though the following list is not exhaustive, and other topics may be discussed):
- Microstructural analysis and characterization of shape memory alloys;
- Shape memory response and effect of shape memory alloys;
- Mechanical behavior of shape memory alloys;
- Exploring novel designs to tailor the properties through the shape memory effect;
- Examining the diverse applications of shape memory alloys;
- Production and processing of shape memory alloys;
- 3D and 4D printed shape memory alloys;
- Addressing the challenges and current trends in the research of different shape memory alloys.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
