Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Piezoelectric and dielectric ceramics and composites have attracted increased interest recently due to their potential application in the electronic industry. Examples of versatility in their properties and potential applications include, but are not limited to, a colossal magnetoresistive effect, a giant electrocaloric effect, a giant photovoltaic effect, and energy harvesting. In addition, many new devices and applications have been explored intensively, and many novel technological developments, such as material fabrication, device design, and the performance evaluation of devices, are emerging.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advancements in the field of piezoelectric and dielectric ceramics and composites. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Piezoelectric ceramics;
- Dielectric ceramics;
- Ceramic matrix composites;
- Mechanics and nanomechanics of ceramics;
- Ceramic-based actuators, sensors, and transducers;
- Processing, characterization, and modeling of piezoelectric and dielectric materials;
- Novel applications of piezoelectric and dielectric
You are welcome to contribute a paper to this Special issue. Original research 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.
