Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Classic piezoelectric composites combine the merits of both piezoelectric and polymer phases, which have attracted extensive attention. The characteristics of composites, such as piezoelectric, mechanical, and acoustic properties, can be tailored by the contributions of corresponding phases and their connectivity. Besides the polymer, other materials such as magnetostrictive alloys can work with piezoelectric materials to induce special effects. Thus, piezoelectric composites have widely been used in diverse fields such as medical ultrasound, energy harvesting, non-destructive testing, and smart structure applications. With the advanced development of flexible electronics and the wireless sensor network, there are still challenges and opportunities regarding the aspects of material and applications of piezoelectric composites. This Special Issue plans to provide an overview of state-of-the-art piezoelectric composites, which involves the advances in the composite design strategies, modeling, fabrication, properties, and applications.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- 3D-printing piezoelectric composites;
- Ceramics;
- Single crystal;
- Flexible composites;
- Lead-free composites;
- Magnetoelectric;
- Random composites;
- Actuators;
- Energy harvesting;
- Sensors;
- Ultrasonic transducers.

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. Journal of Composites Science is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
