Published on behalf of Acta Materialia, Inc.Acta Materialia provides a forum for publishing full-length, original papers and commissioned overviews, and feature articles that advance the understanding of the relationship between the processing, the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. Acta Materialia prioritizes papers that significantly move the field forward, advancing the thinking in the field and providing mechanistic processing-structure-property connections. Explorations of such connections by experiment, computation, theory, data science, and machine learning are all welcome; studies that connect across theory, computation, and experiment through mechanistic means are especially relevant.Materials structure at all scales is of interest, from electronic, atomic, and molecular arrangements to microstructural elements, including crystal defects, polycrystalline and polyphase structures, and spanning to macrostructures formed by processing that impact properties and performance. The connection of these structural features to all kinds of properties is of interest, including mechanical and functional properties, thermodynamics and kinetics, phase transformations, etc.Short communications and comments to papers published in Acta Materialia may be submitted to Scripta Materialia.Manuscripts about materials that fall outside the scope of Acta Materialia or Scripta Materialia may be submitted to Materialia, which is part of the Acta Materialia family of journals.

Official Publication of the Brazilian Metallurgical, Materials and Mining AssociationThe Journal of Materials Research and Technology provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to processing, properties, and performance of materials.The complex relationship between processing and properties of materials is being revealed by advanced characterization, analytical and computational methods. At the root of the intricate connections are defects which operate at the nano, micro, meso, and structural level. These defects. or their absence, are instrumental in determining the mechanical, optical, magnetic, electrical properties which in turn are responsible for new functionalities which expand the performance of materials and structures. JMRT seeks cutting edge contributions in the following areas:Novel processing methods such as additive manufacturing, friction welding, severe plastic deformation, phase transformations.Advanced materials including metals, alloys, intermetallics, composites, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials and bioinspired materialsAdvanced characterization, analysis, and modelling of material behaviourMaterials for energyThe journal does not emphasize the following areas but will consider outstanding contributions in Corrosion, Construction materials such as asphalt, Drug delivery and materials, Hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy, Mining engineering and equipment, Non-technical or non-scientific articles.
Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and ProcessingMaterials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior.Please be advised that the Aims and Scope for the journal has recently been updated. The journal will no longer consider or publish papers on concrete and cement-based systems nor on polymeric and polymer-based materials. In addition, papers with an emphasis on corrosion or wear are discouraged, unless they specifically address novel mechanical behavior or related phenomena.
Progress in Materials Science publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials and their exploitation in engineering and other applications. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental aspects of the subject, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, optical or biomedical). Authors of reviews in Progress in Materials Science are active leaders in materials science and have a strong scientific track record in the field of the review. Regular manuscripts are generally of greater length than those found in journals specialising in research papers. Snapshot reviews focus on a timely topic and are shorter (less than 8,000 words). The Editors kindly request that non-invited manuscripts are preceded by the submission of a proposal through the website.Particular areas of interest for review papers are, but are not limited to:Energy Materials: Materials for energy harvesting, storage, and conversion (solar cells, batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, etc,.), electrode materials, mechanism in electrochemical devices, battery design and optimizationQuantum and electronic materials: thin Film technology, materials for electronic devices, quantum dimensional materials (0D,1D and 2D), materials for sensors and detectors (optical, piezoelectric, biosensors)organic light emitting diodesSoft Matter and Biomaterials: polymers, materials for the human body, biomaterials for tissue models, materials for personalized medicine and healthcare, materials for drug delivery, bioinspired materials and synthesis conceptsAdvanced materials manufacturing: innovative fabrication techniques, process design and optimization, scalable production methods, wearable and flexible printed electronic devices, materials and techniques for additive manufacturingHigh-performance materials: alloys and composites with optimized strength and toughness, advanced materials for extreme environments (e.g. space, arctic), emerging hybrid and composite Materials, high-entropy materialsAdvanced Characterization Techniques: novel techniques such as in-situ electron microscopy, operando spectroscopy, or advanced neutron scattering that reveal material behaviors under real-world conditionsSustainable materials science: materials for a circular economy, substitution of critical elements, engineered materials for environmental remediation, sustainable materials and synthesis conceptsComputational Materials Science and AI/ML: computational techniques for materials on all size and time scales, computation of phase diagrams, property and lifetime prediction, AI and ML techniques for high-throughput materials design and for advanced processing
