Ceramic Composites and Films 2020
This special issue belongs to the section "Materials Science and Engineering".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue of Applied Sciences, ‘Ceramic Composites and Films’, has been extended and will be published as ‘Ceramic Composites and Films 2020’. In this renewal, we kindly invite further papers on the synthesis, mechanical properties, chemical properties, electric and electronic properties, and other properties of ceramic composites and films. Topics on unique applications and material designs, such as functionally graded materials, porous ceramic composites, smart materials, natural resources, and so on are welcome. In addition to research papers, reviews and overviews will also be accepted to provide context for ceramics research, including the history, current situation, and future prospects of ceramic composites and films. By extending the Special Issue in this way, we seek to provide a platform for those involved in ceramic materials research, that can inspire further projects and investigations.
Prof. Dr. Yuzo Nakamura
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
