PROGRESS IN MATERIALS SCIENCE

Progress in Materials Science publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials and their exploitation in engineering and other applications. Authors of reviews in Progress in Materials Science are active leaders in materials science and have a strong scientific track record in the field of the review. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental aspects of the subject, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, optical or biomedical) including the atomistic and electronic nature of condensed phases. Also desirable subject matters are the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms and modelling of processes which occur within solids, liquids and other condensed phases; experiments and models which help in understanding the macroscopic properties of materials in terms of microscopic mechanisms; and work which advances the understanding of the use of materials in engineering, healthcare and other applications. Materials of interest are metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical and composite in all forms. Manuscripts are generally of greater length than those found in journals specialising in research papers.The focus of the journal is invited reviews, but interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. The Editors kindly request that all non-invited manuscripts are preceded by the submission of a proposal.

《材料科学进展》对材料科学的最新进展及其在工程和其他应用中的开发发表了权威和批判性的评论。材料科学进展综述的作者是材料科学领域的积极领导者，在综述领域具有很强的科学记录。重点放在主题的基本方面，特别是涉及微观结构和纳米结构及其与特性（机械、化学、电、磁、光学或生物医学）的关系，包括凝聚相的原子性和电子性。另一个值得关注的主题是固体、液体和其他凝聚相中发生的过程的热力学、动力学、机制和建模；有助于从微观机制理解材料宏观性质的实验和模型；以及促进对材料使用的理解的工作。工程、医疗和其他应用中的材料。感兴趣的材料是各种形式的金属、陶瓷、聚合物、生物、医疗和复合材料。手稿的长度一般比专攻研究论文的期刊长。该杂志的重点是邀请评论，但感兴趣的作者可以提交一份建议供考虑。编辑们恳请所有未被邀请的手稿在提交提案之前。
