Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human society is becoming more and more dependent on electricity. Thus, based on the capability of controlling/storing charge and electrical energy, dielectric materials have attracted great attention. Examples of these materials, all of which require tailored dielectric properties, include high-permittivity (k) materials for capacitors, low-k materials for 5G and transformers, dielectric elastomers for electroactive generators/actuators, thermally conductive materials for high-voltage packing, and flexible/biological materials for intelligent devices.
Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the chemistry and physics, the surfaces and interfaces, and the composition and microstructure of dielectric materials will be extremely important. Research on polarization mechanisms, technologies of material preparation, and even novel detection methods is needed to develop the means of adjusting and controlling dielectric materials.
The aim of this Special Issue of Materials is to attract articles covering any aspects of new dielectric materials, including material development, microstructural optimization, and novel implant designs. We welcome original research work, communications, or reviews with a clear focus on these areas.

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.
