Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on "Advanced Design and Synthesis in Piezoelectric Smart Materials" aims to explore the latest advancements in the field of piezoelectric materials, with a focus on innovative design strategies and synthesis techniques. Piezoelectric materials, which convert mechanical stress into electrical energy and vice versa, have garnered significant attention due to their wide range of applications in sensors, actuators, and energy harvesting devices. This Special Issue seeks to highlight cutting-edge research that pushes the boundaries of piezoelectric material development, including the exploration of new material compositions, advanced synthesis methods, and enhanced performance optimization. We invite contributions that delve into the fundamental principles, experimental approaches, and practical applications of piezoelectric smart materials. Full papers, communications, and reviews that address these themes are warmly welcomed. Together, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions of piezoelectric smart materials research.
Dr. Long Jin
Guest Editor
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). 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.
