Composites

Composite materials are the combination of 2 or more materials. They were created to combine the beficial properties of the various material incorporated into a single material. With improved understanding, they are becoming more common place. They may use various materials in their make up and include classifications such as polymer matrix composites (PMC), metal matrix composites (MMC), ceramic martix composites (CMC)fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) as well as functionally graded materials (FGM).
Journals
Substrate–surface design and tailored surfaces are critical in rapidly developing industry sectors such as biomedical, sensors, catalysis, energy and reactive systems, as well as to assure wear and corrosion performance of engineering components. Surface Engineering addresses developments in technology, process optimisation and design through peer-reviewed original research and reviews. Regular authoritative technology visions review state-of-the-art specific applications and industry sectors.
International Materials Reviews provides authoritative introductions to current thinking and developments in materials science and engineering. Specially commissioned critical assessments of the literature give rigorous and concise overviews of important and rapidly developing topics. These reviews provide both an entry point into the field and the opportunity for specialists to update their knowledge.
Powder Metallurgy is the leading international peer-reviewed journal on the science and practice of particulate technology. Its scope encompasses powder production, consolidation and sintering, and the applications of powders and PM components, including powder injection moulding and incremental manufacturing.
Advances in Applied Ceramics is a showcase for innovative research in high performance ceramics. Peer-reviewed articles report original research on the processing, fabrication, characterisation and applications of functional and engineering ceramics. A particular focus is the control and tailoring of micro-and nanostructure for end use requirements. Special issues guest-edited by leading figures in the ceramics field provide unrivalled examination of 'hot topics'.
Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology, an official journal of the European Federation of Corrosion, provides broad international coverage of research and practice in corrosion processes and corrosion control. Peer-reviewed contributions address all aspects of corrosion engineering and corrosion science; there is strong emphasis on effective design and materials selection to combat corrosion. CEST’s scope encompasses all metallic and non-metallic materials and composites.
Focusing on R&D in advanced materials, particularly their application, Materials Technology emphasises technology transfer and the communication of information of practical value to its readers through a variety of carefully tailored formats. Coverage reflects the growing emphasis on manipulation and characterisation of structures and functional features down to the nanoscale. Recent and forthcoming theme issues cover technical textiles, light metals and biomaterials and bio-medical engineering.
