Materials | Scope Update

To further enhance the quality of Materials (ISSN: 1996-1944) and the papers published in it, under the guidance of our Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Maryam Tabrizian, the journal has updated and revised its scope. The original scope and the updated version are listed below.

Scope (new version):

Scope (old version):

To publish research related to all classes of materials including ceramics, glasses, polymers (plastics), composites, semiconductors, magnetic materials, biological and biomimetics materials, silica, dots and carbon materials, metals, and alloys from nanoscale to bulk. All kinds of functional materials used for the development of medical implants in medicine and in dentistry, as well as coatings and films, pigments, ionic crystals, covalent crystals, metals, and intermetallics, are also considered.
To cover all aspects of materials science or materials engineering, including nanoscience and nanotechnology.
To contribute to the advancement of material characterization techniques such as electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, calorimetry, nuclear microscopy and spectroscopy, laser technology, optical fibers, Rutherford backscattering, and neutron diffraction, among others.
To incite fundamental research in condensed matter physics and materials physics, continuum mechanics and statistics, mechanics of materials, tribology (friction, lubrication, and wear), solid-state physics, etc.

The journal will not consider submissions that only present clinical cases, or that only cover geological and engineering applications of natural materials (e.g., soil, rocks, loess, basalt).
