MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY

Materials Technology: Advanced Performance Materials is an international journal for outstanding research in the field of functional materials, specifically, advanced materials in which composition, structure and surface are functionalised to confer specific, applications-oriented properties. Contributions should address the physical, chemical, or engineering sciences that underpin the design and application of these materials. The scientific and engineering aspects may include processing and structural characterisation from the micro- to nanoscale to achieve specific functionality. The Editor welcomes experimental, theoretical, and review papers on biological response, biosensing, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of materials in bulk, thin film, nanotube/nanofibre or particulate form. Research articles that focus on integrating basic and applied research on nanostructured aspects of materials are also within the scope of the journal. The main journal covers advanced materials across a broad spectrum, while two subsections are intended to focus specifically on 1) advanced functional materials, and 2) advanced biomaterials. Material Technology: Advanced Functional Materials published peer-reviewed research on functional materials, contributions might look at: Functional materials for electronics and photonics Materials for energy storage and harvesting Advanced magnetic materials Piezoelectronic, ferroelectric, pyroelectric and multiferroic materials Memory materials Nanostructured functional materials for advanced applications Hybrid and advanced functional composite materials Simulation and modelling for new functional materials Applications of advanced functional materials in sensors and actuators Advanced processing for functional materials Material Technology: Advanced Biomaterials published peer-reviewed research on advanced biomaterials, contributions might look at: Advanced biomaterials in which composition, structure, and surface are designed for a specific functionality.
