Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that ceramics are widely used for biomedical, electronic, automotive and space applications due to their attractive properties such as high stiffness, strength, and stability at high temperatures. To further extend their applications, forming nanocomposites are increasingly of interest to tailor both the mechanical and functional properties of ceramics. Graphene, one of most studied materials in the last two decades, has extremely high electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. The very high surface area is another advantage compared to other carbon-based materials. Therefore, incorporating graphene into ceramics to produce advanced ceramic nanocomposites has great potential for versatile applications. This Special Issue focuses on the synthesis of advanced ceramic/graphene nanocomposites and their relevant applications. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to):
- Advanced ceramic/graphene nanocomposites;
- Innovative synthesis and sintering process;
- Applications of ceramic/graphene nanocomposites, e.g., energy harvesting, water filtration, catalysis, functional coating, batteries, etc.;
- Novel characterization for ceramic nanocomposites;
- Structure and properties of ceramic nanocomposites;

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. Coatings 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 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.
