Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ceramics announces a Special Issue dedicated to the thermal management of ceramic materials. We invite cutting-edge contributions that advance the science and engineering of ceramics for thermal management, energy conversion, and extreme environment applications. This Issue seeks original research articles and comprehensive reviews addressing novel ceramic materials—including but not limited to ultra-high/low thermal conductivity ceramics, thermal barrier coatings, thermoelectrics, radiative cooling, and thermal storage systems—with emphasis on innovative synthesis, advanced processing–microstructure–property relationships, thermal stability, and thermal shock resistance. We particularly welcome studies on structure–property correlations, multi-scale modeling, and performance optimization (thermal conductivity, expansion coefficient, emissivity) for applications in next-generation electronics cooling, aerospace thermal protection, nuclear systems, industrial insulation, waste heat recovery, and renewable energy technologies. Submissions should highlight scalability, sustainability, or mechanistic breakthroughs in thermal transport, interfacial engineering, or degradation mitigation. Researchers and engineers are encouraged to share their transformative work shaping this critical field.

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.
