Materials Research Innovations covers all areas of materials research with a particular interest in synthesis, processing, and properties from the nanoscale to the microscale to the bulk. Coverage includes all classes of material – ceramics, metals, and polymers; semiconductors and other functional materials; organic and inorganic materials – alone or in combination as composites. Innovation in composition and processing to impart special properties to bulk materials and coatings, and for innovative applications in technology, represents a strong focus. The journal attempts to balance enduring themes of science and engineering with the innovation provided by such areas of research activity.

The Editors have indentified certain focal areas in which Materials Research Innovations wishes to become a journal of choice for reporting innovations:

• The discovery or development of
new materials
• New processes for the manipulation
or processing of solid matter
• Science relevant to giga- (meta-)
technologies
• Innovations in materials that drive
biological applications
• Characterisation, surfaces and
interfaces of nanostructured and
nanocomposite materials
• Porous and catalytic materials
• Nanoscale devices and systems

• Physical and chemical synthesis
and processing of fine powders,
single crystals and composites
• Novel ion exchange materials
• Metallic and oxide superlattices
• Phenomena in nano confining
systems
• Polymeric nanophase materials and
nanocomposites
• Biological systems at the
nanoscale
• Material for magnetics, data
storage, and sensing/actuation

The journal publishes two issues each year on the theme of energy materials. Authors should indicate during the submission process if they wish their paper to be considered for these issues.

Journal News

2nd Global Conference on Materials Science and Engineering (CMSE 2013)
Maney Publishing is pleased to announce that Materials Research Innovations will publish selected papers from the 2nd Global Conference on Materials Science and Engineering (CMSE 2013). Please see the conference website for details or contact Professor Guolong Ruan cmseconf@gmail.com

Increase in frequency
From 2013 Materials Research Innovations will increase in frequency from 6 to 7 issues per year.

Materials Research Innovations focuses on energy materials
This special themed issue is the first in what will be a regular series of issues of Materials Research Innovations focusing on energy materials. The ToC are avaialble to view on ingentaconnect and the Editorial by Publishing Manager, Mark Hull is free to read here.

The regular energy materials theme issues of MRI will in future comprise a commissioned component of the journal Energy Materials: Materials Science and Engineering for Energy Systems, which Maney publishes in conjunction with the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. The journal is to be relaunched as a virtual journal in January 2012 and further details will become available at that time.
