Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in dielectric materials, which are essential for various applications, like piezoelectric, ferroelectric, electrostrictive, electrocaloric, and electrostatic functions. There has been a broad interest in exploring advanced materials as a potential new generation of electrically insulating materials with outstanding properties, especially for electronic and energy related applications. A key factor in improving these materials is the strategic combination of matrix materials and nanofillers in advanced composites, which enhances performance by suppressing partial discharge and space charge, improving the dielectric constant and breakdown strength, as well as increasing energy storage and conversion capability.
This Special Issue aims to present the state-of-the-art research progress in the field of advanced dielectric materials. The research object of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, polymer-based, ceramic-based, and insulating fluid-based nanocomposites, with their properties focused on electrical insulation strength, space charge inhibition, energy storage and conversion capacities, and operational stability, etc. In addition, cutting-edge studies toward advanced fabrication methods, new aspects of analysis, and insights into the mechanism for advanced dielectric materials are also highly encouraged.
Finally, we would like to emphasize that this Special Issue is widely inclusive; topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Dielectric materials for energy storage applications;
- Dielectric materials for energy conversion applications;
- Dielectric materials for electrical insulation applications;
- Dielectric materials for sensing and monitoring applications;
- Multiscale interface in dielectric materials;
- Chemical and physical properties of dielectric materials;
- Simulations and measurements for dielectric 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. 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.
