Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Characteristics and Properties of Piezoelectric Smart Materials", is motivated by a growing interest in developing novel and advanced piezoelectric materials for piezoelectricity-based devices by various worldwide research groups and industries.
This would include:
- Porous piezoelectric materials and their properties;
- PZT nano-tubes, nano-rods, nanowires and nano-fibers for MEMS devices;
- Advanced piezoelectric polymers and piezocomposites;
- Voided charged polymers including comparative studies on piezoelectric polymers and their relevant applications as sensors and actuators;
- Lead-free piezoelectric materials and their achieved properties in various devices;
- Piezoelectric biosensors’ principles and their applications;
- Wearable piezoelectric sensors and actuators;
- Piezoelectric high-frequency image generation;
- Ultrasonic transducers;
- Implantable biomechanical energy piezoelectric harvesters;
- Any other advanced research on improving piezoelectric properties and characteristics.
Overall, this Special Issue is orientated toward all the above-cited research topics and other related research on piezoelectric materials and their unique characteristics.
Considering your outstanding contribution in this interesting research field, I would like to cordially invite you to submit a paper to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Haim Abramovich

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.
