Materials is an open access journal of materials science and engineering.
It provides a forum for papers that advance the understanding of the
relationship between the structure, properties and functions of all kinds of
materials. It is published online monthly by MDPI. The journal Materials is
abstracted and indexed very rapidly by Science Citation Index Expanded,
Chemical Abstracts and INSPEC.
MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see “2010 Newly Released Impact Factors”,
http://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/121/.
In case of questions, please contact the Editorial Office at:
materials@mdpi.com.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
MDPI AG
