Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, review papers, and short communications on the applications and latest advancements in metallic and ceramic matrix composites. Despite decades of extensive research, ceramic materials remain one of the most popular and widely used material groups globally. Advances in manufacturing technologies have significantly increased the ability to control microstructure, leading to improved properties. However, there remains ample scope for further progress and innovation in this field. This Special Issue aims to highlight application possibilities and identify new trends in the development of these materials.
We invite submissions focusing on methods for consolidating ceramic and metallic composites, microstructure analysis, and mechanical property evaluation. Papers describing the fabrication of composites and nanocomposites reinforced with MAX phases, MXenes, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and other similar materials are particularly encouraged.

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.
