《材料科學雜志》發表論文，報告材料結構、加工、性能和性能之間關系的重要原始研究結果或研究技術。主題包括金屬、陶瓷、玻璃、聚合物、電氣和電子材料、復合材料、纖維、納米結構材料以及生命科學中應用的材料。選擇論文是因為它們的高質量和廣泛的興趣，材料界。《材料科學雜志》現已牢固確立為研究所有工程材料結構和性能的科學家的主要交流來源。

The Journal of Materials Science publishes papers that report significant original research results on, or techniques for studying, the relationships between structure, processing, properties, and performance of materials. Topics include metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, electrical and electronic materials, composite materials, fibers, nanostructured materials, and materials for application in the life sciences. Papers are selected for their high quality and broad interest to the materials community. The Journal of Materials Science is now firmly established as the leading source of primary communication for scientists investigating the structure and properties of all engineering materials.
