Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ceramic materials made from ultrafine particles are referred to as "smart ceramics." Researchers and scientists have been drawn to them because of their ability to change the length scale in the nanoscale, resulting in improved and uncommon material properties.
This Special Issue focuses on the broad topic of “Smart Ceramic Materials” and includes novel research on bioceramics, bioactive ceramics, piezoceramics, superhydrophobic ceramics, multifunctional nanoceramics and their composites, transparent ceramics, and glass nanoceramics. It also discusses recent and anticipated challenges in advanced techniques for the synthesis and characterization of smart ceramics and their composites.
I cordially invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, whose topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Recent trends in the development and application of smart ceramic materials;
- Intelligent synthesis of smart ceramic materials;
- Synthesis and characterization of nanostructure ceramics;
- Mechanical properties of smart ceramic materials;
- Smart piezo-ceramic composites for multifunctional applications;
- Smart superhydrophobic ceramic composites for multifunctional applications;
- Biosmart ceramic composites for medical applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Ceramics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
