ES Materials & Manufacturing (ES Mater. Manuf.) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed international research journal incorporating research activities in all experimental and theoretical aspects of materials and manufacturing. The research topics include the most exciting and significant advances in all areas of materials research and their related manufacturing processes. Both fundamental and applied studies are encouraged, e.g., functional materials for energy-, optics-, mechanics-, magnetics- and electronics-related applications, biomaterials, structural materials, advanced manufacturing, chemical/physical processes during materials synthesis or manufacturing, and computational materials science. This journal specializes in cutting-edge research with the mission of providing sustained value in the evolving world of academic and industrial fields. Any article that focuses on, but is not limited to the following field of research will be considered for its publication, upon satisfying accepted ethical and scientific publishing standards. • Functional materials for energy-, optics-, mechanics-, magnetics- and electronics-related applications • Sensors and actuators • Metals, alloys, and their composites • Ceramics and the ceramics-based composites • Carbon and the carbon-based composites • Polymer and the polymer-based composites • Gradient structural materials • Metamaterials • Biomedical materials and devices • Building and construction materials • Fire retardant • Aerospace and transportation materials • Smart materials • Artificial intelligence and machine learning • Biomaterials • Structural materials • Advanced manufacturing • Chemical/physical processes during materials synthesis or manufacturing • Computational materials science • Novel devices and instrument • Sustainable materials and processing for carbon neutrality
