Materials Science and Technology (United Kingdom)

Aims & Scope

Materials Science and Technology is an international forum for the publication of refereed contributions covering fundamental and technological aspects of materials science and engineering.

The journal has a particular interest in the continuum from understanding of process routes leading to the generation of microstructure, through characterisation and understanding of how microstructure is controlled and manipulated, to the control and prediction of relevant engineering properties. 'Microstructure' is shorthand for nano/micro/meso/macrostructure, provided that 'structure' is identified at the appropriate size scale. 'Properties' may be electrical, mechanical, electronic, chemical, magnetic, thermal, optical, or biochemically related.

Reports of the use of modelling, informatics and related approaches to enhance understanding and predict properties must include validation against experimental results.

Contributions addressing any part of the continuum in an insightful manner, whatever the material system, are invited.

What is important is that an attempt is made to relate 'properties' back to effects of 'microstructure'.
