Synthetic Metals publishes research on the physics, chemistry and applications of organic and carbon electronic materials such as electronic polymers and electronic molecular materials including novel carbon architectures. The journal aims to advance the field of materials publishing articles which significant in the following areas:

conducting and semiconducting polymers and molecular materials
fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, related novel carbon architectures and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS)
supramolecular conjugated architectures
nanoscale electronic molecular and electronic polymer materials
organic charge-transfer compounds and metal chain compounds
functional pi-conjugated systems
organic-inorganic electroactive hybrids including perovksites
molecular- and polymer-based magnets and ferroelectrics


The journal publishes original research papers, short communications and reviews. Original research papers and short communications should present a significant advance in the understanding or application of these materials and/ or devices made from them. Experimental, theoretical and application papers on the chemistry, physics and engineering of these materials and their electrical, photonic and magnetic properties are encouraged for submission. Papers on electronic, optoelectronic, electroluminescent, lasing, solar cell, sensor, actuator, biological and other potential applications of these materials are also welcome.
