Materials Technology: Advanced Performance Materials converted to a full Open Access journal from Volume 38 (2023). Previous volumes will continue to provide access through a Pay to Read model.
Materials Technology: Advanced Performance Materials is an international journal for outstanding research in the field of functional materials inclusive of biomaterials, packaging materials and flexible electronics, 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 and theoretical papers including review articles 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 topics of interest are:
Advanced Functional Materials:
- 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 and manufacturing for functional materials
- Advanced and emerging fabrication/processing techniques of flexible electronics and devices such as 2D and 3D printing, lithography, solution processing, patterning, self-assembly, device integration, and other techniques
- Advanced devices and design of flexible optoelectronics, robotics, packaging, sensors, actuators, and other flexible devices
- Functional applications in the fields of wearable healthcare monitoring, flexible displays, flexible cell phones/computers/digital cameras, energy harvesting and storage, and other flexible electronic systems
Advanced Biomaterials:
- Advanced biomaterials in which composition, structure, and surface are designed for a specific functionality
- Research that addresses the physical, chemical or engineering sciences that underpin the design, fabrication and application of these advanced biomaterials
- The integration of basic and applied research on nanostructured aspects of advanced biomaterials
- Biosensing materials
- Biomimetic materials
- Drug delivery materials
- Hybrid, hierarchical and advanced composite biomaterials
- Scaffold biomaterials
- Controlled degradation biomaterials
- Surface engineering for biocompatibility and other bio-functional properties
- Biomaterials considered in bulk, thin film, nanotube/nanofiber or particulate form
