NEW TO MANEY IN 2007
Materials Research Innovations covers all areas of materials research including metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, electronic materials and biomaterials. As the field of materials research evolves, different emphases, including those that become funding ‘mantras’, take the spotlight. The Editors (many of them involved in the formation of the materials research field) attempt to balance the more permanent themes of science and engineering with such areas of research activity.
Research areas
- The discovery or development of any really new material (in structure, composition or properties). Occasional journal issues may focus on a particularly hot, timely topic—such as on ZnO in 2007.
- The discovery of any new process for the manipulation or processing of solid matter. Science relevant to giga- (meta-) technologies. (While the ‘nano’ theme has dominated fashionable science, we believe that the important contribution of such science will be that which is connected to the real materials world where large volumes or values are involved, from steel and cement, to BaTiO3 and silicon.)
- State of the art innovations in materials, which are keys to, or drive, biological applications.
- Innovations in energy generation or storage applications.
- Offers of special reviews (typically 5000 to 10 000 words) that link important current active areas to their roots in basic science are welcome.
Structured extended abstracts are published in hard copy form; the complete papers are published in the online version of the journal.
