Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern challenges of ecology, resource efficiency, and environmental issues place stricter demands for dielectric materials research. Many efforts have been invested in producing environmentally friendly materials to be more cost-effective, consume less energy, and consume fewer resources. Materials representing traditional dielectric films used in semiconductor devices, especially oxides and nitrides, are replacing studies with new methods on materials with unique dielectric responses. Dielectric Science and Technology are crucial for electronic components playing an important role in applications ranging from sensors and conductor insulation in the power energy industry to the rapidly evolving field of biological systems.
Dielectric materials will play an increasingly important role in promoting the diversity and importance of dielectric science and technology in the existing fields of sensors, electronics, photonics, nanotechnology, chemical, and mechanical systems, but also in the evolving fields of biology and biochemistry. It, therefore, seems essential that the dielectric properties of nano-materials and structures will be crucial for developing novel devices for current and future applications. This Special Issue of Materials aims to provide a collection of papers focusing on modern trends in dielectric materials, new approaches to structuring environmentally friendly materials, and new ways to optimize material parameters concerning a variety of technology-oriented applications.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to metals, ceramics, ferroelectrics, glasses, polymers, electrical and electronic materials, composite materials, microwave absorbers, multilayer structure dielectrics, fibers, nanostructured materials, low and high dielectric constant materials, nano-fluids, and materials for application in the life sciences.

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.
