Special Issue on Material Structure, Properties and Characterization Methods
The
early materials used by humans were natural, and their structure varied
widely. Rocks are crystalline, pottery is a mixture of glassy and
crystalline components, wood is a fibrous organic material with a cellular
structure, and leather is a complex organic material. The successful
utilization of materials requires that they satisfy a set of
properties. These properties can be classified into thermal, optical,
mechanical, physical, chemical, and nuclear, and they are intimately connected
to the structure of materials. The structure, in its turn, is the result
of synthesis and processing. The goal of this special
issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the
world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in
this area of material structure,
properties and characterization methods.
In
this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit
original research and review articles that explore material structure, properties and characterization methods. In
this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Atomic and
electronic structure of the material
-
The crystal
structure of materials
-
The mechanical
properties of the materials
-
Physical
properties of the materials
-
Chemical
properties of the materials
-
The structure
and characterization of materials
Authors
should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully
before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their
complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission
System.
Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The
research field “Special Issue - Material Structure,
Properties and Characterization Methods” should be selected during your
submission.
