Special Issue on High Entropy Materials: Fundamentals and Potential Applications
截稿日期: 2024-11-30

High-Entropy Materials (HEMs) encompass High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs), High-Entropy Ceramics (HECs), High-Entropy Polymers (HEPs), and other multicomponent systems that occupy previously uncharted regions of compositional space. Since Professor Jien-Wei Yeh proposed the concept, the field has become a dynamic and vibrant area of materials science and engineering. Symposia, meetings, and workshops of HEMs are being held in many countries, and a rapid increase in the number of scientific journal publications and citations is evident. A Special Symposium in Honor of Prof. Jien-Wei Yeh is scheduled to take place in Cancun, Mexico, on August 18-23, 2024. This event, part of IMRC-2024, commemorates the 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking contributions to the realm of materials research. The present moment marks a significant juncture for HEMs research, with immense potential applications not only in structural engineering but also across diverse fields such as optoelectronics, magnetism, thermoelectrics, catalysis, energy storage (batteries and solid hydrogen storage), biomedical implants, thermal barrier coatings, and protective coatings against wear and oxidation/corrosion. To showcase the excellent research presented in this special symposium, the journal Materials Chemistry and Physics (MCP) is planning to publish a special issue for this symposium. This issue also welcomes submissions from all other researchers in the field of high-entropy materials. The scope of the special issue includes (but is not limited to):

    High-Entropy Alloys
    High-Entropy Ceramics
    High-Entropy Polymers
    Structural Properties
    Functional Properties
    Environmental Resistance
    Materials Synthesis and Processing
    Advanced Microstructural Characterization
    Modeling, Simulation and AI-based Approaches
    Potential Applications
