Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
First produced in China, porcelain was the most universally admired and the most widely imitated product across the centuries. A systematic research effort between the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century led to the invention of the first European porcelain in Meissen. Further success was achieved only when investigation efforts were supported by governments that led to overcoming the main problems of porcelain manufacturing. Although in the middle of the 20th century, universities worldwide began to shift their interest more toward engineering sciences, there are good reasons to believe that porcelain engineering and research are well on their way to becoming important fields of science again.
This Special Issue covers areas related to the design, processing, structure, and properties of porcelain, including advanced manufacturing methods, safety and environmental issues, and regulatory aspects.
We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to the Special Issue “Science and Technology of Porcelain: History, Processing, Structure and Properties”. Full research articles, short communications, and review papers covering all aspects of research on tableware, sanitaryware, electro, dental and other types of porcelain are welcome.
