Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last two decades have witnessed the rapid development of piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials, which are widely utilized as sensors, actuators, high-performance capacitors, diverse dimension functional composites, etc. A material design employing component modulation and microstructure construction and preparation technique exploration promote the performances of such materials. Additionally, with recent advances in functionalization and integration research, the exploitation of more applications for piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials is further being boosted.
To show the development of materials and their in-depth exploitation, it is necessary to extensively investigate the materials from the perspectives of the material system, material scale, material microstructure, and application.
The main synthesis methods include hydrothermal synthesis, microwave synthesis, seed crystal synthesis, ultrasonic synthesis, template method, confined space synthesis, etc. With the continued development of materials, synthesis techniques have become more abundant.

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.
