This very special volume on \U+2018\Advanced Structural and Functional Materials for Protection\U+2019\ focuses on the choice of materials intended for the specific task of protecting civilians and soldiers against the effects of blast, fragmentation weapons and unconventional attacks, and also covers multi-functional materials intended for the enhancement of soldier performance. Protective materials represent one of the greatest challenges to synthesis and processing; due to the extreme requirements of the application. An understanding of the various mechanisms & sciences behind the behavior of materials will make an invaluable contribution to the development of materials for protective\U+00a0\ purposes in these uncertain times.
