Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A new concept of alloy design has been discovered early decades and named Multi-Principal Element Alloys (MPEAs). MPEAs are an emerging class of engineering materials with excellent mechanical, thermal, chemical and electrical properties due to constituent alloying elements and type of synthesis methods. MPEAs might be a chance in many applications; nevertheless, a robust synthesis strategy is lacking. It is worth noting that a wide range of syntheses has been developed for these systems recently, starting from bulk to powder-based approach, at the same time very few post-processing studies have been carried out. Furthermore, the microstructure and microstructure evolution is still under investigation due to their complexity.
In this context, it is a pleasure to invite researchers to submit manuscripts on the subject of MPEAs for this Special Issue, which is intended to cover broad aspects of synthesis, microstructure and mechanical characterizations, as well as manufacturing and potential applications of MPEAs.

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.
