The Materials Science : An Indian Journal is devoted to the rapid publication of fundamental research at the interface of chemistry, chemical engineering and material science. The journal publishes theoretical and experimental studies focus on the preparation or understanding unusual or useful properties of materials. Topics include: catalytic materials, biomaterials, chemical vapor deposition, coatings, clusters and colloids, composites, fluids and liquid crystals, glasses, inorganic solids/ceramics, inorganic/organic network, magnetic materials, metals, molecular crystals, microstructure, optical materials, phase transitions, polymeric materials, precursor routes to materials, self-assembled materials, sensors, sol-gel, semi-conductors, structural material, super-conductors, surface and interfacial, phenomena, thin films and monolayer, porous material, NLO materials. All contributions shall be rigorously refereed and selecting on the basis of quality and originality of the work as well as the breadth of interest to readers. The journal publishes the most significant new research in all phases of inorganic chemistry being done in the world today, thus ensuring its scientific priority.
