Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are garnering increasing attention due to their exceptional thermal stability, high mechanical performance, and resistance to harsh environments, which make them indispensable in aerospace, energy, transportation, and environmental applications. However, the urgent need to reduce the carbon footprint of ceramic production calls for sustainable approaches in raw material selection, processing routes, and recycling strategies. Addressing these challenges is crucial to developing the next generation of high-performance yet environmentally responsible CMCs.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Inorganics Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Sustainable Ceramic Matrix Composites.” This Special Issue aims to gather innovative research that aligns with the journal’s focus on inorganic materials and their applications. Contributions should highlight new strategies for designing, processing, and applying ceramic matrix composites with an emphasis on sustainability, resource efficiency, and performance optimization.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel synthesis and processing methods for sustainable CMCs;
- Use of industrial by-products and alternative raw materials;
- Recycling and life-cycle assessment of CMCs;
- High-temperature performance and durability;
- Functional and structural applications in energy, aerospace, and electronics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Edén A. Rodríguez

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. Inorganics 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 2200 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.
