Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the use of ceramics in science and industry has become increasingly widespread for their important advantages over metals and polymers. Applications for ceramic materials have been found in electronic devices, energy devices, aerospace industry, automotive industry, corrosion-resistant coatings, biomedical engineering, and so on. Every year, new design concepts, manufacturing technologies, and materials are rapidly developed to meet emerging applications in so many industries. We believe this Special Issue will become an international forum for exchanging ideas on recent advances in the concept design, synthesis, characterizations, and applications of novel and advanced 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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
