Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spark plasma sintering (SPS) and field-assisted sintering technology (FAST) have attracted increasing attention from academic researchers and industrials. An improved understanding of these process has led to the development of new high-performance materials and materials with enhanced properties.
Advances in the knowledge, modeling and the development of derived techniques, such as cold-, high-pressure- and flash-SPS, have resulted in consolidated and fully dense materials, multiple materials with controlled architectures, complex forms (near net shape) and/or microstructures.
This Special Issue, entitled “Materials with Advanced Properties Fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering”, aims to provide an overview of the latest innovations in the development of novel materials, high-performance materials and materials with enhanced properties generated with SPS, FAST and derived processes (cold-, HP- and flash-SPS).
Full articles, papers and reviews are all welcome.
Dr. Claude Estournes

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.
