Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the synthesis, characterization, and performance of various materials, including composite coatings, alloys, metal powders, and nanomaterials. Studies investigate methods to enhance material properties such as hardness, wear resistance, machinability, and thermoelectric performance through techniques like electrodeposition, heat treatment, and additive-assisted design. The scope also includes the electronic and magnetic properties of materials like quasicrystals and spinel ferrites, as well as the application of materials in areas such as CO2 photoreduction and selective ion adsorption.
