Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ceramics encompass a diverse group of hard, brittle, and resilient materials known for their high heat and corrosion resistance. Today, ceramics span a wide spectrum, including everyday items, industrial products, and construction materials. They also play a pivotal role in cutting-edge functional fields. The diverse range of properties exhibited by functionalized ceramics showcases their versatility across various industries, from power generation, aerospace, and electronics to biomedical, biotechnological, and environmental applications.
This Special Issue will focus on the intricate processes involved in tailoring ceramics and their composites, including interface engineering, surface processing, composition tailoring, and more, to meet specialized functional applications. Moreover, it will highlight real-world applications, from cutting-edge electronics to aerospace components, underlining the profound impact of functionalized ceramics on modern technology and industry. We also welcome papers on methods of preparation, uncovering novel approaches and breakthroughs in the field.
This Special Issue will serve as an invaluable resource for researchers, engineers, and professionals seeking insights into the synthesis, characterization, and utilization of functionalized ceramics and their composites for pioneering advancements in materials science.
We invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full articles, communications, and reviews are welcome.

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.
