Published by Sage from 2024. Advances in Applied Ceramics: Structural, Functional and Bioceramics provides international coverage of high-quality research on functional ceramics, engineering ceramics and bioceramics. The journal aims to enhance fundamental understanding and applied knowledge of the relationship between processing, microstructure and properties of ceramics and ceramic composites. The journal has a particular interest in the development of novel materials and the tailoring, through innovative processing, of structure across a range of scales to meet the requirements of specific applications. To support recent developments, the journal is expanding coverage in key areas of ceramics, including: •Ceramics for extreme environments •Lead-free ferroelectrics •Energy storage materials •Energy saving and recycled materials •Energy harvesting •Oxide thermoelectrics •Carbon nanotube and graphene composites •Biomedical and dental •Advanced Processing of Ceramics •Additive Manufacturing of Ceramics •Sensors and actuators •Transparent Ceramics •Nanostructured Ceramics and size effects •Novel cement materials •Ceramics Joining •High entropy materials To capture rapid developments in emerging areas the journal also encourages focused short reviews. Original and innovative research in any field of applied ceramics will always be welcome. Peer Review Policy All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor. If found suitable for further consideration, papers are subject to peer review by independent, anonymous expect referees. All peer-review is single anonymized and submissions can be submitted online via https://www.editorialmanager.com/aac Publishing Ethics The journal adheres to the highest standards of publishing ethics, with rigorous processes in place to ensure this is achieved.
