The Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications of Calcium Silicate Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The longstanding significance of calcium silicate materials in the built environment cannot be overstated. In addition, a wide range of calcium silicate-based glasses, ceramics, and cements has found increasing application in biomaterials for the restoration of dental and skeletal tissues. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to celebrate recent advances in any aspect of the synthesis, characterization, properties and applications of calcium silicate materials.

Suitable topics for original research articles, critical reviews and short communications include, but are not limited to: cements and concretes; ceramics; glasses; zeolites; clays; geopolymers; biomaterials; cosmetics; refractory, insulation and heat-resistant materials; construction and demolition; soil conditioning; reuse, recycling and conservation of natural and industrial calcium silicates; and any aspect of the preparation, analysis, and uses of calcium silicates.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Ceramics 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 1600 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.
