Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ceramics can be considered significant constituents of world technical and scientific progress. Modern ceramic materials, made using advanced methods and from specially synthesized and prepared starting powders, are used in space engines, aviation, electronics, metallurgy, chemistry, medicine and surgery. Oxide ceramic materials found their applications somewhat earlier, but their excellent properties still excite designers and engineers.
Nitride- and SiAION-based ceramics attracted attention between 1970–1990, but nowadays the interest to nitride-based compounds is growing. Carbide- and boride-based ceramics are waiting to be implemented in the future jets and space vehicles. Yet, all these excellent materials only find their applications through advanced processing, because the extreme properties of ceramic materials may only be reached through precise processing.
The Special Issue is devoted to:
- Advances in Ceramic Materials
- Advances in Ceramic Processing
- Application of Ceramic Materials

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
