Ceramic Processing and Sintering
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to recent advances in ceramic processing and sintering. Ceramic materials are characterized by unique properties and applied in infinite aspects of human life, from dentistry to aerospace production. The development of the design, composition, synthesis, formation, and sintering of functional ceramics and the investigation of the processing–structure–property relationship open broad opportunities for creating new and improved materials. Potential topics in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, modern approaches of obtaining powders; product formation, including additive manufacturing methods and ceramic injection molding technology; heat treatment, including hot isostatic pressing; and spark plasma sintering and post-processing operations. Studies incorporating innovative technology approaches of all ceramic types are welcome, including original articles, communications, and reviews.

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-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.
