About the Journal
Innovations in Materials: Current & Future (IMCF) is an international journal (print and online) published quarterly by Semnan University Press, founded in 2024. It reports the latest and most creative research results in all fields of materials science and engineering. The journal provides a forum for metallurgists, material scientists and engineers, physicists, and chemists to contribute to the most important subjects in advanced materials. It seeks to encourage an intensive dialogue between scientists, engineering scholars, and practitioners in materials science and engineering.
The Journal welcomes contributions that promote the exchange of ideas and rational discourse among practicing educators and researchers worldwide. A broad outline of the journal's scope includes: peer-reviewed original research articles, case studies, and technical reports; reviews and short communications in nanocomposite science and technology. Thus, high-quality research papers or reviews dealing with any aspect of advanced materials are welcomed. Papers may be theoretical, interpretative, or experimental. The journal is published in English. Accepted papers will immediately appear online, followed by printing in hard copy.
