Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aluminum-based composites are a class of metal matrix composites that can be successfully used in the aerospace, structural, and automotive industries. However, their applications have often been restricted due to their moderate wear resistance. The development of improved wear-resistant aluminum-based matrix composites is receiving considerable attention from the scientific and technological community. Although notable research has been carried out on processing and mechanical properties, further studies are constantly required. Thus, the design, synthesis, and development of new aluminum-based compounds with better wear properties is the challenge of the new generation of researchers.

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. Lubricants 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.
