Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing demand for advanced ceramics applied under harsh conditions, reliable ceramic parts with customized and complex geometries are needed. Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, can precisely and rapidly produce specific near-net-shape components from macro- to micro-scale. Conventional ceramic raw materials can hardly meet the requirements of specific 3D printing technologies, unlike preceramic polymers that are suitable for AM, as they can be manipulated in polymeric phases. Thus, polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) have greatly emerged as a powerful and versatile technology allowing the production of three-dimensional ceramic components starting from accessible and tailorable precursors. A large variety of AM techniques can be used to shape preceramic polymers, including photopolymerization (SLA/DLP), direct ink writing (DIW), binder jetting (BJ), inkjet printing (IJP), selective laser sintering/melting (SLS/SLM), lamination object manufacturing (LOM), fused-deposition modeling (FDM) as well as emerging hybrid AM. Therefore, the 3D printing of functional PDCs has a promising future in this field.
The main goal of this Special Issue is to highlight recent advances in the AM of ceramics in general and of PDCs in particular. In addition, studies related to multi-material 3D printing such as ceramic–metal composites and ceramic–matrix composites are welcome. Authors are also encouraged to present studies on new designs of functional 3D-printed ceramics and their use in different applications. Full-length research articles, reviews, and short communications are accepted.

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.
