Composite Functional Materials (CFM) is an interdisciplinary journal that caters to chemists, physicists, material scientists, engineers, and biologists, focusing on the development and application of innovative composite materials. The journal publishes peer-reviewed short communications, review articles, and full-length research papers that present cutting-edge advances in composite science and technology. Articles are supported by fundamental theoretical modeling, interface engineering, and functional approaches to composite development. The scope covers research across multiple length scales, ranging from the nanoscale to micro, meso, and full-scale product or structural levels. Emphasis is placed on composite processes aimed at high-performance applications, spanning both low-volume/high-cost and high-volume/low-cost production. This includes work that pushes the boundaries of composite materials for diverse applications, supported by advanced research in processing, performance, and functionalization.
CFM accepts submissions of original research and reviews, including those on the design, processing, structure-property relationships, performance and life-time prediction of composite materials from both fundamental and application-oriented perspectives.
The following areas of the science and engineering of materials are of particular interest:
1. Advanced Composite Materials in Aerospace
2. High-Strength and High-Conductivity Metal Alloys
3. Mineral Composite Materials for Energy and Environmental Applications
4. Intelligent Composite Materials for Optoelectronic Devices
5. Functional Composite Materials for Biological and Pharmaceutical Applications
6. Inorganic and/or Organic Composite Materials used in Catalysis
