5 Year impact factor: 11.1
Impact factor: 9.8

A Review Journal Surface Science Reports contains invited review papers on experimental and theoretical studies in the physics, chemistry and pioneering applications of surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures. It covers topics which contribute to a better understanding of basic phenomena occurring on surfaces and interfaces, but also the application of this knowledge to the development of materials, processes and devices. "Surfaces" is defined in this journal to include all interfaces between solids, liquids, polymers, biomaterials, nanostructures, soft matter, gases and/or vacuum. The journal also contains reviews of experimental techniques and methods used to characterize surfaces and surface processes, e.g. those based upon the interactions of photons, electrons and ions with surfaces.

An international journal devoted to the science and application of advanced surface treatments for improvement of material properties Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance: A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting. B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects. Articles must go beyond the technical recipe format and gain substantial new understanding and insight based on detailed characterization of coatings and processes. Experimental papers should provide complete information on the process parameters and an appropriate microstructural characterization. Also, papers which include test data should provide full details of the test equipment and parameters. Such papers should report on the synthesis-characterization-properties-performance relationships.

Aims and Scope SM&T acknowledges the interdisciplinary nature of scientific research on sustainable development and covers a broad and wide scope. It provides a scientific platform for physicists, mathematicians, chemists, material scientists, engineers, biophysicists, biomedical engineers, tissue engineers and other technical experts to contribute innovative works and combine their different disciplines in Sustainability Science and Technology related to: • Resource-efficiency optimization (e.g., minimize amount of precious metals in product design) • Innovative approaches with breakthrough performance for CO2 capture and utilization • Material recycling and materials recovery from complex products • Material substitution to enable lower-impact production and/or use (e.g., composites) • Lifecycle analyses of sustainable technologies • Energy sources for the long term • Advanced manufacturing processes with reduced energy, water, and materials footprint • Theory and Simulation for Energy and Environmental Systems • Emerging materials for efficient sustainable energy and environment devices • New concept and technology for sustainable energy and environmental devices and systems • Sustainable fuel generations through efficient photo-/thermo-/electro-/chemo-catalysis • Theory and Simulation of Advanced Materials for Sustainable Applications • Sustainable biomaterials and/or sustainable technologies for biomedical applications • Sustainable biomaterials and/or sustainable technologies for the design of antimicrobial treatments • Life-cycle and techno-economics analysis of sustainable technologies Note to authors: Papers submitted to Sustainable Materials and Technologies need to include a quantitative discussion related to why the new material, use, or process is a significant improvement in performance and/or in economics with focus on sustainability aspects as well. Papers that are principally cataloguing the properties of a material will be insufficient to be accepted for the journal. Out of Scope: Papers reporting on cement/concrete/other building materials including thermal insulators/recycled building materials/green buildings are outside of our scope. Next to this, submissions focusing only on policy/decision making or economic aspects are unsuitable to publish in SM&T. Special Issue commissioning All Special Issues are commissioned by the board. The journal is not considering Special Issue proposal, and any proposal will be rejected. Note Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.
