MATERIALS & DESIGN

Materials and Design publishes original research reports, review articles and express communications covering the studies of structure and properties of inorganic and organic materials, advances in synthesis, processing, characterisation and testing, design of materials and engineering systems, and applications in technology. The journal is multi-disciplinary in nature, and seeks to bring together aspects of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry. In exploring the themes ranging from materials to design, it also pursues the elucidation of underlying connections between natural and artificial, and experiment and modelling.Manuscripts submitted to Materials and Design are sought to contain elements of discovery and surprise that often accompany the obtention of new insights into the architecture and function of matter.

《材料与设计》出版原创研究报告、评论文章和通讯快报，内容涵盖无机和有机材料的结构和性能研究、合成、加工、表征和测试方面的进展、材料和工程系统的设计以及技术应用。该杂志是多学科的性质，并寻求将材料科学、工程、物理和化学方面的内容结合起来。在探索从材料到设计的主题时，它也追求阐明自然和人工之间的潜在联系，以及实验和建模。提交给材料和设计的手稿力求包含发现和惊喜的元素，通常伴随着对物质的结构和功能的新见解的获得。
