Aims & Scope

Aims

The Advances in Nano-Micro Materials (ANMM) is a gold open access, peer-reviewed journal that aims to be a leading platform for disseminating cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and innovative findings in the field of relationship of nono- and microstructure of various material types with their properties for fundamental understanding as well as for advanced and conventional interdisciplinary technological applications.  This journal seeks to foster a interdisciplinary dialogue among scientists and technologists. It is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

Scope

The Advances in Nano-Micro Materials (ANMM) is a journal with a broad scope that welcomes original and innovative research. It focuses on the interdisciplinary domain of materials science and technology, specifically emphasizing the significance of nano- and microstructural manipulations in materials processing and their implications for technological applications. The journal aims to facilitate communication and collaboration among scientists and technologists from diverse fields. For a work to be published, it should contribute to the understanding of nano- and microstructural aspects in materials and their connections to practical technological applications, thereby appealing to the readership interested in this specialized area. Research spanning from fundamental investigations to interdisciplinary studies related to materials processing and its applications is encouraged.

ANMM publishes articles that focus on, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Materials Processing Techniques for Nano- and Microstructural Alterations: This involes exploring different types of materials processing techniques that are designed to deliberately modify the nano- and microstructures of materials. Examples include but are not limited to techniques like nanolithography for creating precise nanostructures on surfaces, ion implantation for altering the composition at the microscale, and thermal annealing processes to control grain growth and microstructure evolution.
• Fundamental Property Studies of Materials: Concentrates on detailedinvestigations into the fundamental properties of materials before and after nano- and microstructural  This includes analyzing changes in mechanical properties (such as hardness, strength, and elasticity), electrical properties (like conductivity and resistivity), thermal properties (such as thermal conductivity and expansion coefficient), and optical properties (e.g., absorption, emission, and refractive index).
• Applications in Biomedical Field: Looks at how materials with tailored nano- andmicrostructures are applied in the biomedical sector. For instance, the research might cover the functionalization of two-dimensional materials like graphene for biomedical sensing applications, where the unique nano- and microstructural features of the material are exploited to detect specific biomarkers or monitor biological processes with high sensitivity and selectivity.
• Applications in Aerospace Industry: Focuses on the utilization of nano- andmicrostructurally modified materials in aerospace applications. This could involve studies on how lightweight yet high-strength materials with specific nanostructures are used in aircraft components to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity under extreme conditions like high temperatures and mechanical stress, or the application of materials with enhanced thermal management properties for spacecraft to handle heat dissipation during space 
• Applications in Electronics: Involves researching how materials with carefully engineered nano- and microstructures contribute to the advancement of electronics. This includes using nanostructured semiconductors for improving transistor performance, developing nanocomposite materials for better energy storage in batteries used in electronic devices, or creating microstructured materials for enhanced electromagnetic shielding in electronic enclosures.

Overall, ANMM serves as a platform for sharing research findings and promoting the exchange of ideas in the area of nano- and micro materials, aiming to drive progress in both fundamental understanding and practical applications across multiple technological sectors.
