Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The scope of this Special Issue on “Characterization and Structure of Metallic Foams” is research on the latest developments in areas of porous materials, mechanical properties, characterization, synthesis, modeling, and advance understanding of metallic foams and/or porous metals in any composition.
The authors are invited to present their research using innovative approaches related to basic material properties, micro- and macrostructure affecting mechanical properties of any type of metal foams and related composites. Appropriate submissions should reflect recent developments in the science and technology of metal foams through the latest scientific research achievement on new processes, technologies, and their dissemination and applications.
The papers are welcome to provide:
- advanced understanding of the micro- and macrostructure in correlation with mechanical properties of metallic foams as well as discovery or development and characterization of the structure of improved porous metals with novel functional or mechanical properties of potential engineering interests;
- latest developments in areas of manufacturing, built-up mechanisms of closed or open porosity;
- improvements of mechanical properties in understanding of production of metal foam by changing the chemical composition of alloy and foaming agent.
- explain mechanisms of pore cell stability
- modeling of metal foams
- review overlook of latest studies
In this Special Issue, we will aim to publish papers with a focus on manufacturing, characterization, and modeling of metallic foams. We look forward to seeing your contribution for potential publication in this Special Issue.

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. Metals 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.
