Materials are an indispensable part of human civilization since the inception of life
on earth. With the passage of time, innumerable new materials have been explored
as well as developed and the search for new innovative materials continues briskly.
Keeping in mind the immense perspectives of various classes of materials, this
series aims at providing a comprehensive collection of works across the breadth of
materials research at cutting-edge interface of materials science with physics,
chemistry, biology and engineering.
This series covers a galaxy of materials ranging from natural materials to
nanomaterials. Some of the topics include but not limited to: biological materials,
biomimetic materials, ceramics, composites, coatings, functional materials, glasses,
inorganic materials, inorganic-organic hybrids, metals, membranes, magnetic
materials, manufacturing of materials, nanomaterials, organic materials and
pigments to name a few. The series provides most timely and comprehensive
information on advanced synthesis, processing, characterization, manufacturing and
applications in a broad range of interdisciplinary fields in science, engineering and
technology.
This series accepts both authored and edited works, including textbooks,
monographs, reference works, and professional books. The books in this series will
provide a deep insight into the state-of-art of Materials Horizons and serve students,
academic, government and industrial scientists involved in all aspects of materials
research.
