Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-pressure processes are frequently employed in the field of material synthesis to improve the number of solid chemistry reactions. These high-pressure processes produce a potentially innovative material that is impossible to obtain at ambient pressures.
This Special Issue focuses on a new approach in advanced materials for high-pressure phase-stable-like diamond and cubic boron nitride for their synthesis and consolidation, for the growth of single crystals like quartz, and for the densification of refractory materials like carbide, boride, nitride, and oxide for their unique properties.
The application of high pressures for the synthesis and characterization of materials obtained at high pressures, including the study of their properties, allows us to observe these phase transitions in situ and/or ex-situ, such as those of graphite–diamond and hexagonal–cubic boron nitride.
The technology underlying high-pressure processes, involving the use of high-pressure tools for material synthesis, will be addressed in this Special Issue.
This Special Issue, titled “High Pressure Materials: Synthesis, Characterization and Properties” aims to give an overview of recent advancements in high-pressure processes/technologies for the synthesis of advanced functional inorganic materials. To this end, we are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to this collection. Articles, papers, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
