Scope: This invited topic will focus on understanding the unique aspects of the response of nanostructured metallic, ceramic and composite materials in extreme environments. Many critically important applications involve extreme environments where high temperature, high mechanical stress, high strain-rate deformation, corrosive atmosphere and intense irradiation are present. Such extreme environments pose significant challenges to the materials being used. Nanostructured materials, including ultrafine-grained and nanocrystalline materials, nanolayered materials, nanoparticles or nanoprecipitates strengthened materials, etc., have exhibited many excellent properties like high mechanical strength and superior irradiation resistance. Their improved properties make them promising candidates for applications in extreme environments.
