Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal and ceramics together is a challenging alliance, however, their liaison produces composites, which are the most important engineering materials in recent years. They offer outstanding properties compared to conventional materals, with potential applications for tools, automobiles, medicine, aerospace and other industrial applications. The new generations of metal and ceramic matrix composites are ternary or multiphase systems and demands to create complex microstructures. The key factor to produce such advanced composites, also called hybrid composites, is a microstructural control from the nano to the mico scale, which results in a synergistic effect of micro and nano phase combinations and with a spectrum of known and as yet unknown properties.
In this Special Issue on ”Advanced in Metal and Ceramic Matrix Composites”, original papers, which relate to the new composite materials of both metal–ceramic and ceramic–metal systems, are expected. The following topics are proposed:
- new composites, hybrid composites,
- fabrication, new methods and concepts of tailoring the microstructure,
- characterization, properties and practical aplications.

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.
