Sustainable Materials and Technologies

Sustainable Materials and Technologies (SM&T) is an international, cross-disciplinary journal, published by Elsevier. SM&T publishes original full-length research articles and reviews in applied or fundamental science of nano-, micro-, meso-, and macro-scale aspects of materials and technologies for sustainable development with special attention to contributions that reduce the knowledge gap between materials and system designs.

SM&T acknowledges the interdisciplinary nature of scientific research on sustainable development and covers a broad and wide scope. It provides a scientific platform for physicists, mathematicians, chemists material scientists, engineers and other technical experts to contribute innovative works and combine the different disciplines in Sustainability Science and Technology related to:

Resource-efficiency optimization (e.g., minimize amount of precious metals in product design)
Innovative approaches with breakthrough performance for CO2 capture and utilization
Innovative approaches with breakthrough performance for water purification
Material recycling and materials recovery from complex products
Material substitution to enable lower-impact production and/or use (e.g., composites)
Life cycle analyses of sustainable technologies
Energy sources for the long term
Materials performance targets in the context of a system design
Advanced manufacturing processes with reduced energy, water, and materials footprint
Theory and simulation for sustainable environmental and energy applications
Emerging materials for efficient sustainable energy and environment devices
New concept and technology for sustainable energy and environmental devices and systems
