Hybrid Advances

ISSN: 2773-207X

An International Open Access Journal Devoted to the Advancements in Design & Application of Hybrid Materials & Technologies Hybrid Advances is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes special content, either related to research presented at scientific events or invited contributions to thematic special issues. Hybrid materials are assembled organic-inorganic materials at the nanometer or molecular level that may be chemically bonded or physically blended. Nanometer to micrometer scales make more homogeneous materials, exhibiting improved characteristics to the initial phases and even novel properties, not be confused with simply combining two new components; these may offer advantageous performances relative to either of the non-hybrid counterparts, and could bridge the gap between ceramics and polymers. On the other hand, Hybrid technologies use a combination of conventional and unconventional technologies (at least two, but of different types) having the goal of optimization - and thus achieving more efficient systems. The research & review articles in the journal Hybrid Advances will cover the border-area of interests formed by integrating the nine companion journals, which represent cutting-edge topics contributing to a better understanding of intercalated bulk & stratified materials, phenomena at the interface, solid multicomponent materials at nanoscale, self-assembling nanostructures, solid blends & matrix inclusions, external & internal surfaces, homogeneity vs. heterogeneity consequences of functional materials and of their formed phases; also, the journal focuses on developing novel combined technologies necessary to the design, fabrication & employment of the emergent systems & devices. The journal aims for publishing on the advancements in design & application of hybrid materials & technologies, thus accommodating the following topics: Design of hybrid and composite materials, including: simulation, modelling and fabrication; Novel hybrid materials & hybrid structures, multi-functionality and the study of the relation between structure, properties and applications; Novel materials employed for advanced engineering applications, including: nanocomposites, green/eco-composites and energy hybrids such as supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, solar stills, thermal systems, wind power systems, etc.; Synthesis and characterization of polymeric hybrid materials; Polymer-based hybrid composites in electronics, energy and space applications; Biomedical application of hybrid polymeric materials; Transport properties and engineering the interfaces within nanocomposite assemblies; Advanced hybrid methods for synthesis of hybrid materials for catalysis, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis; adsorption properties of porous media, clay minerals and (nano)composites; Nanofluids and hybrid phase change materials (PCM): concepts, design & applications; Materials with fillers and reinforcements at the nanoscale and microscale; Physical and chemical deposition and growth of multi-layered thin films; hybrid coating technologies and surface functionalization; 2D and 3D assembly of hybrid materials; Device fabrication, hybrid semiconductors and surface nanotechnology; Building and fire retardant materials for construction industry; Surface and interfaces of hybrid biomaterials, biocompatible and dental materials; stimuli-response mechanisms and novel health-monitoring techniques; Advancements in the characterization and imaging techniques of hybrid materials; Novel category of hybrid functional materials, with thrilling properties like: electrical and thermal conductivity/insulation, thermoelectric, magnetic, optical, shape memory, ferroelectric, energy capture and storage, phase modifications, lubricating, etc.; Novel (hybrid) nanotechnologies including self-assembly, spinning, 3D printing, self-assembly and other emerging techniques are driving exciting developments in the field; Hybrid technologies in chemical engineering, biotechnology, life & natural sciences; Hybrid technologies in microelectronics, automation and renewable energy engineering; Hybrid technologies in aeronautics and automotive industry. Hybrid Advances is a companion title to a group of 9 respected journals from Surface Science, Solid State Science and Materials Science & Engineering, which naturally blend together into the concept of hybrid materials & technologies: Surface Science Progress in Surface Science Surfaces and Interfaces Applied Surface Science Advances Solid State Science Progress in Solid State Chemistry Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids Solid State Sciences Materials Science & Engineering Progress in Materials Science Applied Materials Today Composites Science and Technology

Infrared Physics & Technology

ISSN: 1350-4495
5 Year impact factor: 3.2
Impact factor: 3.3

The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. The very near infrared, VNIR, defined as 750nm-1200nm is subject to special consideration. Where a submission utilises the VNIR alone, or in conjunction with longer wavelengths and uses typically `infrared? technology such as InGaAs detectors, it is in scope. Where a submission utilises the VNIR and shorter wavelengths in the visible, and uses typically visible region technology such as silicon detectors, it is unlikely to be appropriate to this Journal. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region. Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine. Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring. A fuller though not exhaustive list of topics would include: • Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Research • Atmospheric transmission, turbulence and scattering • Biomedical and Medical applications • Cultural heritage • Environmental applications: pollution and monitoring • Detectors: quantum and thermal • Image processing • Industrial applications • Infrared lasers including free electron lasers • Material properties, processing and characterization • Nondestructive testing, active and passive. • Optical elements: lenses, polarizers, filters, mirrors, fibres, etc. • Radiometry: techniques, calibration, standards and instrumentation • Remote sensing and range-finding • Solid-state physics • Thermal imaging: device design, testing and applications • Synchroton radiation in the infrared During submission, please suggest at least one and a maximum of five potential reviewers. You are strongly encouraged to submit recommendations for appropriately senior and knowledgeable referees having no connection to your work and not located at your institution, as this may speed up the processing of your manuscript. The editorial office may not use your suggestions, but they are greatly appreciated. Where the author works in a country with a small community of research workers in his or her field, it is highly desirable that at least two of the suggested referees are from another country. To be suitable for submission to this Journal, manuscripts should advance the field of Infrared Physics and Technology. Their target audience should be those working in the field of Infrared Physics and Technology. Papers using infrared methods, such as FTIR spectroscopy or thermography, in an essentially routine way to advance some other field, and of interest to other readerships, and generally not suited to this Journal. The Journal does include within its scope genuinely new applications of established infrared methods. In the field of medical applications such as the detection of breast cancer or diabetic pathology, submissions to IRPT should normally include advances in hardware or data collection protocols etc. Such studies are required to have adequate sized and well characterized cohorts. Clinical studies using standard equipment are generally not within the scope of the Journal. Similarly in the fields of hyperspectral imaging and near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy application of standard hardware and signal processing methods to a different agricultural product etc does not normally fall within our scope, whereas novel hardware or signal processing does. The Journal only publishes papers which are purely based on computer modelling without support from experimental results in exceptional circumstances when there is a clear reason to do so. These might, for example, include comparative studies of designs for large pieces of equipment such as satellites, FELs etc. Papers on advances in modelling techniques, appropriately validated, are welcome.

International Journal of Solids and Structures

ISSN: 0020-7683
5 Year impact factor: 3.7
Impact factor: 3.6

The International Journal of Solids and Structures has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in Mechanics of Solids and Structures as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among workers in different parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field. Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from the more classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually interacting with other media and including fracture, flow, wave propagation, heat transfer, thermal effects in solids, optimum design methods, model analysis, structural topology and numerical techniques. Interest extends to both inorganic and organic solids and structures. The emphasis is placed on contributions, analytical, experimental and numerical, which appear to be of permanent interest to research workers and engineers in the field. If furthering knowledge in the area of principal concern of the Journal, papers of primary interest to the constitutive disciplines of Materials Science, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design may be published. Papers which are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures, even though possibly containing new numerical or experimental data, will generally not be published. When outstanding advances are made in existing areas or when new areas have been developed to a definitive stage, special review articles will be considered by the Editors. No length limitations for contributions are set, but only concisely written papers are published. Brief articles are considered on the basis of technical merit. Discussions of previously published papers are welcome.

Journal of Aerosol Science

ISSN: 0021-8502
5 Year impact factor: 3.7
Impact factor: 4.5

An International Journal Founded in 1970, the Journal of Aerosol Science is the first journal specifically devoted to publishing research on the behavior of suspensions of particles and droplets in a gas, i.e. aerosols. The editors and editorial advisory board consider it the prime vehicle for the publication of original work as well as reviews related to fundamental and applied aerosol research, including aerosol instrumentation. Its content is directed at scientists working in engineering disciplines, as well as physics, chemistry, and environmental sciences. Manuscripts can focus on topics of long-standing interest in aerosol science, as well as emerging areas of interest. Editorial decisions are made based on the perceived quality and thoroughness of the submission, fit within the scope categories noted below, and novelty of the work, but not based upon speculation of the work's short term impact (i.e. perceived number of citations). While the Journal of Aerosol Science does not have any length requirements for submissions, authors are strongly encouraged to make use of online supporting information to describe particularly detailed methods, and to present supplementary results and diagrams which aid readers in understanding the main narrative. The editors specifically welcome submissions of papers describing recent experimental, numerical, and theoretical research related to the following topics. In the cover letter accompanying each submission, authors should identify the single number-letter combination which best classifies their manuscript, and explain why it is a novel contribution in this topic area. 1. Fundamental Aerosol Science: a. Transport and Deposition b. Nucleation, Condensation, & Evaporation c. Radiative Absorption and Emission d. Collision Dynamics: Coagulation, Aggregation, & Charging e. Cluster Science; Atomistic Modeling and Measurements f. Aerosolization: Fluidized Beds, Atomization and Sprays g. Resuspension h. Dusty Plasmas & Non-Equilibrium Aerosols i. Population Balance Modeling 2. Applied Aerosol Science: a. Aerosol-based Synthesis & Manufacturing b. Control Technology & Filtration c. Lung Deposition & Aerosol Medicine d. Inhalation Toxicology e. Bioaerosols & Aerosol based Disease Transmission f. Nuclear Aerosols g. Industrial Emission h. Combustion (Soot) & High Temperature Aerosols i. Indoor Aerosols 3. Instrumentation & Measurement Methods a. Mobility Analysis b. Mass Spectrometry c. Light Scattering and Spectroscopic Techniques d. Novel Inertial Separation Schemes e. Condensation Particle Counter Developments f. Single Particle Trapping Methods g. Improved Data Inversion; Machine Learning h. Low Cost Sensors & Measurement Networks Beside originality, a very important criterion for acceptance of a submission is its ability to communicate conclusions of general relevance to a given field. There are topics which the journal specifically does not cover, due to adequate coverage in numerous other publications. The Journal of Aerosol Science is not intended to archive data such as environmental/ambient monitoring measurements, unless new methodologies are involved or broadly relevant new conclusions for aerosol behavior are reached. Work on source apportionment, as well as global & regional climate modeling is better suited to journals with focuses on atmospheric chemistry and air quality. Routine applications of existing instruments and measurement approaches are not considered suitable for the journal. Work on instrumentation must demonstrate a significant advancement or novel implementation of the instrument or method in question. Manuscripts focusing on numerical case studies with widely available computational fluid dynamics software and built-in particle trajectory models are not appropriate for the Journal of Aerosol Science, unless the uniqueness and novelty of the approach employed is clearly evident. Numerical or analytical solutions to aerosol growth models must demonstrate that they are a significant advance over existing approaches and must not contain overly-simplified assumptions rendering them incapable of predicting the behavior of real aerosols.

Journal of Alloys and Compounds

ISSN: 0925-8388
5 Year impact factor: 5.3
Impact factor: 6.2

An Interdisciplinary Journal of Materials Science and Solid–State Chemistry and Physics General Perspective - The Journal of Alloys and Compounds is an international peer-reviewed medium that disseminates original work for the advance of the science of materials comprising compounds and alloys. Its great strength lies in the diversity of disciplines that the journal encompasses, drawing together results from materials science, physical metallurgy, solid-state chemistry, and condensed matter physics. The interdisciplinary nature of the journal is evident in many subject areas, including experimental and theoretical approaches to materials problems that require an active interplay between a variety of traditional and emerging scientific disciplines. - The Journal of Alloys and Compounds provides a unique international forum where materials scientists, chemists, and physicists present their results both to researchers in their own fields and to others active in related areas. The work published in the journal should comprise studies on synthesis and structure combined with investigations of chemical and physical properties of alloys and compounds, contributing to the development of areas of current scientific interests. Manuscripts submitted for publication should contain new experimental and/or theoretical results and their interpretation. Submissions of timely, authoritative, and comprehensive reviews commensurate with the scope of the journal require pre-approvals by the members of the Editorial Board that have relevant expertise. - The Journal of Alloys and Compounds does not consider topics on liquid alloys, steels, wear, creep, welding and joining, organic materials and polymers, coordination chemistry, ionic liquids, catalysis (unless combined with microstructural analysis and other materials properties), and biochemistry. Manuscripts describing only syntheses and characterization without any properties, devices and/or their performance, purely computational results (including CALPHAD) without sufficient experimental validation, or technical reports are out of the journal scope. The submission of articles related to technology of materials and materials processing is discouraged. First-principles calculations may only be considered if a material has already been proven in experiment, or if predictions have a clear potential to advance a dedicated application.
