High Performance Ceramic Functional Materials

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

High-performance ceramic functional materials—such as dielectric, thermoelectric, electrolyte, and semiconducting materials—are in high demand for various modern applications, ranging from energy conversion systems to electronic devices. The research and application of these materials are inherently multidisciplinary, bridging materials science, physics, chemistry, engineering, and other fields. To advance this area, it is crucial to decode the intricate relationships among microstructure, properties, and high-performance functionalities of advanced ceramics through integrated approaches that combine novel processing methods, computational modeling, and advanced characterization techniques. Articles exploring breakthroughs in functional ceramics, addressing the intrinsic processing–structure–property relationships, and proposing new research strategies are particularly encouraged.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
