Composites Science and Technology

Aims & Scope

Composites Science and Technology publishes refereed original articles on the fundamental and applied science of engineering composites.

The focus of this journal is on polymeric matrix composites with reinforcements/fillers ranging from nano- to macro-scale.

CSTE encourages manuscripts reporting unique, innovative contributions to the physics, chemistry, materials science and applied mechanics aspects of advanced composites.

Besides traditional fiber reinforced composites, novel composites with significant potential for engineering applications are encouraged.

These may include, but are not limited to, nanocomposites, biomedical composites, green/eco composites, energy composites, and composites mimicking natural materials.

Manuscripts dealing with multi-scale and multi-functional issues and performance as well as interdisciplinary approaches to the study of new generation composite materials are welcome.

Analytical work should be validated.

Publication of manuscripts reporting routine processing, synthesis and property characterization are not a priority of CSTE.
