Science and Technology of Advanced Materials

OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL

Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM) provides an international forum for refereed original contributions, reviews and focus issues covering all aspects of materials science, including theoretical analysis, synthesis and processing, phase and structure analyses, characterization, properties, engineering and applications. The journal covers advances in research on solids, liquids and colloids, with emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of materials science and issues at the forefront of the field, such as nano-, bio- and ecomaterials.

The multi-faceted nature of materials science is becoming increasingly prominent, particularly in rapidly-growing areas such as nanotechnology, and researchers are confronted by the need not only to develop their understanding of their specific scientific field, but also to gain knowledge from related fields of materials science. The interdisciplinary nature of STAM helps readers to understand various aspects of materials research outside their own core expertise.

The journal is now published as an open-access model, with all content completely free to read. There is no publication charge, as the costs of publication will be covered by the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).

The journal publishes high-quality yet easy to understand papers accessible to researchers working in different, but related, fields. STAM is an invaluable source of information for materials scientists and engineers, in both academia and industry, involved in the synthesis, structure, properties, processing and applications of advanced engineering materials.
