Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality review papers in the research field of solid-state sciences, for which the Editorial Board members of the journal Solids and other researchers working in the field are invited to contribute.

In this Special Issue, entitled “Exclusive Review Papers in Solids”, we aim to collate outstanding contributions in the main fields covered by the journal:

  • Synthesis of new solid materials
  • Properties and potential applications of solids
  • Chemical, structural, thermodynamic, electronic, magnetic, electrochemical, optical and "coupled" (i.e., thermo-electrical, piezo-electrical) properties and processes in solids
  • Spectroscopy of solids
  • Bio-inspired and bio-derived materials
  • Reactions in and on solids
  • Modelling, simulation, and theory studies of solids
  • Solid-state physics

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Solids 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 1200 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.

Keywords

  • solid materials and biomaterials
  • solid-state physics
  • solids in pharmacy
  • computational aspects of solids
  • surface and porosity of solids

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.

Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) technology has been established for over five decades as a versatile route for the fabrication of advanced bioceramic materials. However, conventional processing routes for bioceramics, such as melt-quenching and sol–gel methods, still present significant limitations, including high processing temperatures, limited compositional flexibility, long processing times, and difficulties in fabricating complex and highly porous structures required for biomedical applications. In this context, increasing attention has been devoted to polymer-derived ceramics as an alternative approach for the fabrication of bioceramic materials. In this approach, preceramic polymers are converted into ceramic phases through thermal treatment in air or inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen), enabling low-temperature processing, high compositional flexibility, and precise control over phase evolution and microstructure. These features make the polymer-derived Ceramic route particularly attractive for the fabrication of complex and functional bioceramic architectures. This review provides an overview of the polymeric precursors employed for the synthesis of Polymer Derived Ceramic-based bioceramics, with particular emphasis on inorganic polymers, typically characterized by a siloxanic backbone, and the mechanisms governing their ceramization behavior. Special attention is given to emerging trends, including the integration of polymer-derived ceramics with additive manufacturing techniques and the development of functional systems for biomedical applications.
