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.
