Matters matter. Recent additions from the field of materials science
Expanding the limits of the materials available and thereby satisfying everyday needs was always a key challenge and the cornerstone of human cultural development. The constant discovery and development of new materials and the improvement of their performance to meet the challenges of the current day world grew out to be a faster and faster evolving discipline called Materials Science in the competitive global economy.
From nanotechnology, metallurgy, medical technology, aviation or computer science, materials science is used to advance understanding in a variety of research areas in order to develop smart oil refinery components, bioactive hip implants, the safest cars, the lightest notebooks and countless other new products and technologies that will make our lives safer, more sustainable and more convenient.
We at ScienceOpen want to be a part of this story. Our new partnerships with Carl Hanser Verlag, AIMS Press and Italian Group of Fracture (Gruppo Italiano Frattura) allow us to bring together the latest result of this diverse field.
Below you can find the journals now indexed on our site, and a teaser from their selected articles. Take a peek!
International Polymer Processing
As a result of our new partnership with Carl Hanser Verlag, two of their e-journals from the field of materials science, International Polymer Processing (IPP) and HTM Journal of Heat Treatment and Materials are now indexed on ScienceOpen.
IPP is dedicated to the study of polymers. As such, the journal offers original research contributions, invited review papers and recent technological developments in processing thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers and fibers as well as polymer reaction engineering. For more than 25 years IPP, the journal of the Polymer Processing Society, provides strictly peer-reviewed, high-quality articles and rapid communications from the leading experts around the world. Articles cover topics like:
- Polymer designing and processing for biomedical utilization
Polymer Bioprocessing to Fabricate 3D Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
- Polymer morphology and property analyses
Crystallinity and Linear Rheological Properties of Polymers

Fracture and Structural Integrity (Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale)
Last but not least, our indexing competition winner journal, Fracture and Structural Integrity is an Italian-English bilingual Open Access journal encompassing the broad topic of structural integrity. FSI is the official journal of the Italian Group of Fracture, aiming to promote works and researches on fracture phenomena, as well as the development of new materials and new standards for structural integrity assessment. Our top article selection from the journal:
Sismabeton: a new frontier for ductile concrete
Development of a Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF) multiaxial testing device

The interdisciplinary character of materials science allows these collections to interact with our 29 million article research corpus in many ways. In addition to mutually elucidating each other as well as other researcher led collections from the same field, these findings are also interpretable in the context of physics, chemistry, engineering, environmental science, computer science or biomedical science.
On ScienceOpen you are free to create your own collections using our entire research corpus. If articles are missing from our database, send us a list of CrossRef DOIs and we’ll integrate them for you.
You can build up a scientific narrative which fits best to your own studies, lectures, thoughts or research interests. Our job is to provide the most convenient and comprehensive access and discovery tools to handle the most possible wide-ranging materials. Find them, take them and build your own collection from them!
