Scope
Research papers should highlight 乐天堂app下载 role of interfaces (morphology and composition) and interfacial processes in determining a material鈥檚 properties and functionalities. 乐天堂app下载 journal seeks to report major scientific advances beyond 乐天堂app下载 state of 乐天堂app下载 art, at 乐天堂app下载 cutting edge of this interdisciplinary field.
乐天堂app下载 areas of application are expected to be broad and diverse, with sample interface topics including but not limited to:
- Protective coatings: anticorrosion, antifouling, antibacterial, antimicrobial, hydrophobic, hydrophilic
- Biointerfaces including biomedical coatings, adhesives and devices
- Interfaces in electronic, photonic, and optoelectronic devices
- Electrochemical interfaces
- 乐天堂app下载 role of interfaces in catalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis
- 乐天堂app下载 role of interfaces in energy conversion processes and devices
- 乐天堂app下载 role of interfaces in energy storage
- 2D materials
- Interfaces for environmental remediation (e.g. innovative separation membranes etc.)
- Polymer interfaces and composites
- Applications of nanomaterials鈥� interfaces
- Surface engineering and functionalisation
Consistent with 乐天堂app下载 vision and values of 乐天堂app下载 RSC, 乐天堂app下载 journal welcomes and celebrates research that supports 乐天堂app下载 advancement of several (SDGs), including but not limited to : good health and well-being, : clean water and sanitation, : affordable and clean energy, and : including responsible production and consumption.
I am excited to step into this new role, that of shaping a journal and 乐天堂app下载 community around it 鈥� and doing so from 乐天堂app下载 start as founding Editor-in-Chief.
