Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, the rapid development of advanced manufacturing techniques and advanced characterization techniques have boosted the development of high-performance structural ceramics and hybrid materials, and their engineering applications. Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to present high-quality scientific papers to readers who share their interest in high-performance structural ceramics and hybrid materials. The main topics will cover advanced manufacturing techniques for novel structural ceramics for extreme in-service environments (aerospace, aviation, oil and gas sector, nuclear, etc.), their characterization, correlation between processing/microstructure/properties, effect of doping, and their applications particularly in the field of gas sensing, temperature, and pressure detection under the harsh environmental condition in order to significantly reduce the instrumental damage and enhance the plant productivity, cost management, and emission control of pollutants.
With the colossal permittivity of dielectrics, and many other potential applications, advanced ceramic materials have earned their scientific nobility. Solid state reaction for their synthesis has been complemented by alternative routes, such as sol-gel, 3-D printing, etc. The sintering of powders under controlled atmosphere and the characterization and properties of grain boundaries and of the interface between the grain and the grain boundary remain challenging. To improve their performance and to extend their service lives, as well as to solve related cost and sustainability problems and environmental problems, significant amounts of work have been carried out worldwide.
Therefore, this Special Issue is focused on contributions related to experimental and theoretical studies based on the design, production technologies, development, processing, synthesis, characterization, and field applications of advanced ceramic materials, with new clear progresses in their microstructure and/or properties that increase their potential role as materials to be successfully applied for harsh environment conditions. We aim for this Special Issue to be a good forum for disseminating excellent research findings, as well as sharing innovative ideas in the 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. Materials 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
