Nanocomposites

Journal Title：Nanocomposites

Nanocomposites are multiphase or hybrid materials which when combined together, display markedly different properties from the bulk components. Nanocomposites differ from conventional composite materials due to the nanoscale dimensions of the filler phase and the exceptionally high surface to volume ratio of this phase. As a result they often possess unique mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical or catalytic properties which are controlled by factors such as local chemistry, mobility, morphology, or crystallinity.

In addition, nanocomposites often offer a combination of several properties, making them even more attractive as multifunctional materials for the future, with potential applications in aerospace, healthcare, energy materials, sensors and other systems.

The journal will deal with all aspects of polymeric and ceramic nanocomposites and nano-engineered composites, from nanoparticles, synthesis, morphology, structure, interfacial bonding, ageing, properties (e.g. mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical, wear, barrier, flame retardancy, antifouling, sensing and drug release) and characterization, processing to potential applications.

納米復合材料是多相或混合材料，當它們結合在一起時，會顯示出與本體成分明顯不同的特性。納米復合材料與傳統復合材料的不同之處在于填料相的納米級尺寸以及該相極高的表面積與體積比。因此，它們通常具有獨特的機械、熱、電、光學或催化特性，這些特性受局部化學、遷移率、形態或結晶度等因素控制。

此外，納米復合材料通常具有多種特性的組合，使其作為未來的多功能材料更具吸引力，在航空航天、醫療保健、能源材料、傳感器和其他系統中具有潛在應用。

該期刊將涉及聚合物和陶瓷納米復合材料以及納米工程復合材料的各個方面，從納米顆粒、合成、形態、結構、界面鍵合、老化、性能（例如機械、熱、電、光學、磨損、阻隔、阻燃、防污、傳感和藥物釋放）和特性、加工到潛在應用。

Nanocomposites由TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋Multiple全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 16 Weeks ，影響因子指數4.2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
