Volume 15 Issue 8, August 2026 All Issues Journal of Advanced Ceramics is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open access international journal published on behalf of the State Key Laboratory of New Ceramics Materials (Tsinghua University, China). Journal of Advanced Ceramics provides a forum for publishing original research papers, rapid communications, and commissioned reviews relating to advanced ceramic materials in the forms of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films or coatings and laminated, graded and composite structures. The priority materials include but are not limited to: Structural ceramics and composites for industrial or military applications, especially at high and ultrahigh temperatures and/or in extreme environments. Electroceramics such as dielectric and microwave ceramics, ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, pryoelectrics, thermoelectrics, ferroelastics; magnetic, multiferroic, semiconducting, and fast ion-conducting ceramics; high TC superconductors, topological insulators. Optical ceramics including luminescent and chromogenic materials, transparent ceramics, electro-optical, magneto-optical, and laser materials. Please be advised that the Journal does not consider or publish papers concerning traditional ceramics and porcelains, glasses, concretes, geopolymers, and traditional refractories. In addition, papers concerning glass-ceramics, bioactive ceramics, and ceramic-containing metal- or polymer-matrix composites are also discouraged.
