Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The journal Ceramics publishes scientific articles and communications describing original research and reviews. Now, this international journal is launching a Special Issue relating to ceramic material and glass coatings. The goal of this Special Issue and the main interest is to publish articles on novel science and technology establishing the relationships between composition, mineralogy, microstructure, synthesis, processing and properties of ceramic coatings. Papers may deal with the following topics related to ceramics and glasses: raw materials, wastes, mineralogy, structural, functional, traditional ceramics, composites and cultural heritage.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Coatings.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.

Recent archaeological sites dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries have rarely been studied to date. Among the 500 “glassy” beads excavated from Dohouan (Côte d’Ivoire), elemental analyses reveal that fewer than half contain abnormally high alumina contents, associated with a soda–potash–lime flux (three compositional groups). The remaining beads are typical lead-based glass. The Raman spectra of the alumina-rich beads are quite complex due to their glass–ceramic nature, combining features similar to the vitreous phase of porcelain glaze with the presence of various crystalline phases (quartz, wollastonite, calcium phosphate, calcite). Organic residues are also observed. Colors are primarily produced by transition metal ions, although some specific pigments have also been identified. These characteristics suggest that the alumina-rich beads were manufactured by pressing followed by sintering, as described in patents by Richard Prosser (1840, UK) and Jean Félix Bapterosse (1844, France). A comparison is made with beads from scrap piles at the site of the former Bapterosse factory in Briare, France. This process represents one of the earliest examples of replacing traditional glassmaking with a ceramic process to enhance productivity and reduce costs. Full article

We obtained original glasses and glass-ceramics through the controlled melting and recrystallisation of basalt rocks extracted from several quarries in the Canary Islands. The electrical measurements of the resulting glasses and glass-ceramics were conducted in a complex impedance at temperatures in the 250–700 °C range. These electrical determinations made it possible to follow the nucleation and crystal growth processes. The main crystalline phases were pyroxenes, feldspar (anorthite) and magnetite, which decorate the dendritic crystallisation of pyroxenes. The magnetite is present as nanocrystals, being the component chiefly responsible for the electrical conduction properties of these glass-ceramics. Electrical conduction is facilitated by the presence of magnetite nanocrystals on the axes of dendrites of pyroxene crystals, enabling polar electron conduction in these materials. Thus, the Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio was related to the total Fe2+/Fe, which made it possible to express an electronic conduction model. Full article
