Materials Research Innovations (ISSN: 1433-075X)

Description

Materials Research Innovations covers all areas of materials research with a particular interest in synthesis, processing, and properties from the nanoscale to the microscale to the bulk. Coverage includes all classes of material ? ceramics, metals, and polymers; semiconductors and other functional materials; organic and inorganic materials ? alone or in combination as composites. Innovation in composition and processing to impart special properties to bulk materials and coatings, and for innovative applications in technology, represents a strong focus. The journal attempts to balance enduring themes of science and engineering with the innovation provided by such areas of research activity.
The Editors have indentified certain focal areas in which Materials Research Innovations wishes to become a journal of choice for reporting innovations:
The discovery or development of new materials
New processes for the manipulation or processing of solid matter
Science relevant to giga-
(meta-) technologies
Innovations in materials that drive biological applications
Characterisation, surfaces and interfaces of nanostructured and nanocomposite materials
Porous and catalytic materials
Nanoscale devices and systems
Physical and chemical synthesis and processing of fine powders, single crystals and composites
Novel ion exchange materials
Metallic and oxide superlattices
Phenomena in nano confining systems
Polymeric nanophase materials and nanocomposites
Biological systems at the nanoscale
Material for magnetics, data storage, and sensing/actuation
The journal publishes two issues each year on the theme of energy materials. Authors should indicate during the submission process if they wish their paper to be considered for these issues.
