Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced ceramics have come of age in the 21st century. They offer unique optic, thermal, electrical and magnetic properties that have opened up a new world of development opportunities for manufacturers in a wide range of industries. Advanced ceramics provide a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to traditional materials such as metals, plastics and glass. Innovative synthesis and processing techniques of advanced ceramics have also seen extraordinary advances, with the development of new materials or composites with complex structures to create innovative products both for consumers and industry. Developments in the advanced ceramics field are driven by the implementation of combination synthesis methods and novel processing techniques to meet the new requirements in electronics. In particular, tailoring functional properties by controlling microstructure may enable new functionalities. Synthesis and processing methods have promoted a good wealth of fundamental and applied research into ceramics materials with the potential of meeting stringent requirements set by technological areas ranging from wireless communication to energy storage to sensors to actuators, just to mention a few.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications and reviews are all welcome.
Dr. Lavinia Petronela Curecheriu
Guest Editor
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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
