Aims & Scope

Aims

Powders (ISSN: 2674-0516), an international open access journal, publishes peer-reviewed papers containing research on science and engineering to synthesize, handle, process, and characterize powders, powder systems, and particulate bodies in general. The size of systems will be broad, ranging from nanoparticles to granules, and the powders may be in air, liquids, or in solid composites. Powder technology is founded on the fundamentals, developments, and advances in a variety of fields, including chemical engineering, material science, pharmaceuticals, powder metallurgy, environmental technology, energy technology, nanotechnology, interface science, colloid science, aerosol science, etc.

Full experimental details must be provided so that results can be reproduced; likewise, for studies involving modeling or simulation, full details and equation sets must be provided. Therefore, there are no restrictions on the maximum length of papers; however, we expect reviews to provide new insights into the field rather than simply list available information from the literature. These could be new interpretations of existing data or the identification of areas of particular interest for further study. The journal focuses on publishing Articles and Reviews, but other article types will also be considered.

Scope

Topics include but are not limited to the following subjects:

• Formation and fabrication of powder and particulate materials, including composites containing powders;
• Powder and particle characterization;
• Powder and particle mechanics;
• Powder processing and handling, including rheology of particulate systems;
• Modeling and simulation;
• Particle modification;
• Applications of powder technology in the production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials, as well as in environmental and energy-related matter.

MDPI Publication Ethics Statement

MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). MDPI takes the responsibility to enforce a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies and standards to ensure to add high quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. Unfortunately, cases of plagiarism, data falsification, inappropriate authorship credit, and the like, do arise. MDPI takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously and our editors are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero tolerance policy. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate to check submissions against previous publications.
