**2. The structure of this book**

According to the description in Section 1, to solve the problems that hinder the practical applications of MGs, further investigation on preparation, properties, and processing of MGs is urgently required. This book aims to present some recent achievements and developments on properties and processing of MGs, mainly including thermoplastic forming of metallic glasses, atomic-level simulation on mechanical deformation of metallic glasses, metallic glass matrix composites, as well as tribo-electrochemical applications of metallic glasses.
