Materials Research Express

Materials Research Express (MRX) is a multidisciplinary journal devoted to publishing new experimental and theoretical research on the properties, characterization, design and fabrication of all classes of materials, and on their technological applications. Characterized by article length flexibility and a fast-track peer review process, areas of particular interest include: Materials characterization Material properties Computational materials science and modelling Material applications Synthesis and fabrication Engineering applications of materials listed below† Material classes within the journal scope* Biomaterials Carbon allotropes and 2D materials Electronic materials (including semiconductors) Glasses and ceramics Magnetic materials Metals and alloys Nanomaterials and nanostructures Photonic materials and metamaterials Polymers and organic compounds Smart materials Soft matter Superconducting materials Surfaces, interfaces and thin films †Please note, MRX does not usually consider work relating to materials used solely for structural or civil engineering. However, within our 'Metals and Alloys' scope, we will consider work on new and complex alloys, aspects of tribology including lubrication and corrosion resistance; microstructure and structure analysis, surface wear analysis etc. *Please note that the definitions provided for these material classes are not exhaustive.
