Advances in Ceramic and Glass Materials: Additive Manufacturing and Various Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Ceramic and glass materials have undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, driven by innovations in additive manufacturing (AM), advanced processing routes, and the push toward high-performance functional and structural applications. Several ceramic 3D printing methods, ranging from stereolithography and binder jetting to direct ink writing and laser-based technologies, have opened up pathways for fabricating complex geometries, multifunctional components, and micro- and nano-structured materials that are unattainable through conventional techniques.

The Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research, technological developments, and comprehensive reviews that highlight emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in the AM of ceramics and glasses. Contributions exploring novel material systems, processing–structure–property relationships, functional applications, 3D modelling, and industrial deployment are especially encouraged.  

Researchers, engineers, and industry experts are invited to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications that contribute to advancing the state-of-the-art in ceramic AM. Submissions should present high scholarly quality, clear methodological rigor, and demonstrate a significant contribution to the AM field. This Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers, engineers, manufacturers, and end-users to accelerate the adoption of ceramic AM in real-world applications.

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. 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). 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.
