📣 New Special Issue " Preparation and Application of Intelligent Hydrogel Composites", edited by Dr. Rasool Nasseri from the University of Waterloo and Dr. Amir Jangizehi from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, is open for submissions in Processes MDPI 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dEEa2NHA The equilibrium self-assembly of microstructures within hydrogels has been known for millennia and fundamentally understood over the past two centuries. The minimization of potential energy and entropy provides a thermodynamic basis for microstructures to settle into their equilibrium configurations. The design of intelligent hydrogels, capable of movement, morphing, energy transformation, and even mimicking life functions, requires the non-equilibrium assembly of their adaptive microstructures. Despite significant advancements, developing intelligent hydrogels with versatile user-defined mechanical properties, mass transport behavior, and biologically inspired functions remains a formidable challenge. This Special Issue on the “Preparation and Application of Intelligent Hydrogel Composites” will focus on the development of multicomponent intelligent hydrogels to address these challenges of single-component hydrogels. This Special Issue invites the submission of original research on topics including, but are not limited to, the following: Anisotropic intelligent hydrogels; Stimuli-responsive hydrogel nanocomposites; Shape-morphing multi-layer hydrogels; Gradient hydrogel nanocomposites; Microporous hydrogels; Fast-actuating hydrogels. 📅 Submission Deadline: 15 July 2025

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled “The Optical, Ferroelectric, and Dielectric Properties of Thin Films”. The miniaturization of microelectronic devices is a challenge. Ferroelectric films are used in sensors, actuators, piezoelectric, and memories. At the nanometer scale, the aim of these films is to increase power and decrease leakage currents when thin films are polarized. In thin optical films where the propagation of light depends on the polarization of light and control over the thickness and morphology of the films, the latter limits our ability to adjust the films’ optical response for the desired applications. Multiferroic thin films can possibly coexist with these properties in a single phase. Studies of multiferroics have led to the discovery of new materials and remarkable magnetoelectric phenomena. In this Special Issue, we are interested in the properties of thin films such as the following:  * Optics, Piezoelectricity, Ferroelectrics, Multiferroics, and Semiconductors;  * The interaction between waves and microstructure, functionality, and novel synthesis techniques. This Special Issue will be published under the journal Materials, which has an Impact Factor of 3.1 and a Cite Score of 5.8. The deadline for submissions is 20 June 2025. We cordially invite you to submit your work for publication in this Special Issue. If authors encounter any financial difficulties, they are encouraged to contact the Special Issue Editor (yilia.gao@mdpi.com) for a special discount.
