Dear Prof. Zalkind,

Please excuse us for sending this email again. We would appreciate if
you can give us a short reply. Many thanks for your cooperation.

It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute a paper related to our thematic issue on
"Metal Based Materials for Planet Earth and Living Organisms".

AIMS Materials Science (http://www.aimspress.com/journal/Materials)
is an international Open Access journal devoted to publishing peer-reviewed,
high quality, original papers in the field of Materials technology and science.
The journal has been indexed by Web of Science (ESCI) and Scopus.

Special Issue Editor:
Guest Editor: Professor Manoj Gupta (Email: mpegm@nus.edu.sg)

Introduction of the Special Issue: Planet earth and living organisms are looking into a
catastrophic future due to the development of technologies and usage of materials that are
toxic and harmful. Recent research has already indicated that microplastics have entered
food chain which may have an unknown effect on our ecosystem including health of living
organisms including humans. Accordingly, it is becoming important to use materials and
technologies that are sustainable and with neutral or positive effects on health of organisms
and planet earth. In view of these issues, present special issue is targeting on soliciting research on
materials including composites that are non-toxic and can curb major pollutions related to land,
air water and electromagnetic smog. The papers can be experimental or theoretical or reviews
that are capable to educate the people in this important area. Key topics covered in this issue are
as follows:
   a.     Eco-materials
   b.     Bio-Materials
   c.     Processing: Primary and secondary
   d.     Engineering Properties
   e.     Modeling and simulation
   f.      Joining
   g.     Corrosion response and surface protection including coating technology
   h.     Miscellaneous

Keywords: Metals, reinforcement, processing, microstructure, mechanical properties,
corrosion, composites, modeling

The papers will be published with the open access publication policy.
The accepted papers will be charged 300 USD to cover the production costs.
However, AIMS Materials Science waives the charges for these article types: Review,
Editorial, Letter, Conference Reports, Commentary, Corrections, and Erratum.

If you do not have a paper to contribute, please feel free to distribute this letter within
your organization and professional network, if you think someone you know would be
interested for this publishing opportunity.

We are eagerly looking forward to hearing from you and are hopeful that you will
make an important contribution to this meaningful thematic issue.

Kind regards,
