Aims & Scope
Research papers should highlight the role of interfaces (morphology and composition) and interfacial processes in determining a material’s properties and functionalities. The journal seeks to report major scientific advances beyond the state of the art, at the cutting edge of this interdisciplinary field. The areas of application are expected to be broad and diverse, with sample interface topics including but not limited to: Protective coatings: anticorrosion, antifouling, antibacterial, antimicrobial, hydrophobic, hydrophilic Biointerfaces including biomedical coatings, adhesives and devices Interfaces in electronic, photonic, and optoelectronic devices Electrochemical interfaces The role of interfaces in catalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis The role of interfaces in energy conversion processes and devices The role of interfaces in energy storage 2D materials Interfaces for environmental remediation (e.g. innovative separation membranes etc.) Polymer interfaces and composites Applications of nanomaterials’ interfaces Surface engineering and functionalisation
