Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Materials is an open access journal that undergoes peer review and publishes articles covering a wide range of mechanical and thermal properties analysis of ceramic composite research. It champions cutting-edge exploration in the mechanical and thermal analysis of materials. This Special Issue focuses on the thermal techniques, heat and energy conversion, calorimetry, and mechanical properties of ceramic and metallic composition. The emphasis is on innovative fundamental scientific exploration into the connections among processing, microstructure, and properties of ceramics composites formed under different kinds of sintering techniques. In this Special Issue, manuscripts must clearly describe the measurement setup which the experiments utilised by undertaking a critical review of the state of the art in measurement techniques and the sensitivity and accuracy of used devices.

We welcome research papers, review articles, and perspectives. Papers that have an experimental or theoretical character will also be welcome. Additionally, this Special Issue showcases news and viewpoints alongside research highlights that encapsulate the most recent scientific discoveries in ceramics. With a dedication to excellence, this Special Issue ensures optimal support for authors, readers, and reviewers.

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.

In this work, the electrocaloric effect (ECE) and electrocaloric strength (ΔT/E) were measured and thermal and dielectric studies were performed on Pb-modified BaTiO3 (BPT). The saturated hysteresis loops and normal ferroelectric behavior of the ferroelectric ceramics allow the utilization of the indirect method to estimate the electrocaloric properties. The electrocaloric measurements were performed under high (18 kV/cm) versus low (8 kV/cm) electric field conditions. These conditions were chosen to notice and then eliminate an artificial negative electrocaloric effect in the tested ceramics. At the same time, relatively high values of positive electrocaloric temperature change ΔT (~ 2.19 K) and electrocaloric strength ΔT/E (~0.27–0.11 K·cm/kV) were obtained. Full article
