Materials Processes
A section of Processes (ISSN 2227-9717).
Section Information
The Materials Processes section of the Processes journal covers research topics on the manufacturing, processing, and degradation of materials, as well as processes that occur within materials. It publishes studies that incorporate quantitative characterization, analysis, modeling/computation, and process systems engineering approaches including design, optimization, and control. There is no limit on the material type. In addition to original research contributions, review papers are welcome. Every manuscript submitted for publication under this section should meet publishing ethical standards of the Processes journal. No manuscript is published without undergoing peer review. When a manuscript is accepted, it is published rapidly online in a fully open access format. Download Section Flyer
