Message from the Guest Editor
Dear colleagues,
The development of metal-ceramic composite materials
occurred by setting up innovative interdisciplinary
production techniques. Such techniques have multifarious
goals such as: 1) their ecological sustainability; 2) the
improved technological performance of the finished
product; 3) the cost containment. On the whole, metal-
ceramic composite materials exhibit a huge potential for
practical applications and exploiting a good part of it
represents a great challenge for the researchers and
technologists all over the world. Thus, this special issue of
Materials aims at giving to the reader a faithful portray of
the state of the art of the research in the field of metal-
ceramic composite materials by collecting valuable and,
possibly, innovative works and reviews concerning all the
aspects of their science and technology. In particular,
knowledge regarding the development, characterization
and use of nanostructured metal-ceramic composite
materials, where the metal and ceramic phase are
assembled effectively, are welcomed. Hoping that you will
be involved in the same my enthusiasm, I look forward to
receiving numerous works from you.
