Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are attractive materials due to their unique properties that stem from the combination of a wide range of matrix materials and reinforcements. The possibility of tailoring the mechanical response, thermophysical properties, chemical and electrical behaviour, and wear properties makes MMCs incredibly interesting. The development of such materials has been driven by various applications in different fields, including automotive, aerospace, electrical and electronic applications. The challenge of creating a sustainable society lies in the recyclability of such materials.
Given the rapid evolution of these materials and the numerous combination possibilities, this Special Issue, "Advances in Metal Matrix Composites: Structure, Properties and Applications", gathers studies on the most recent advances in the field.
