Materials Science and Technology is an international forum for the publication of refereed contributions covering fundamental and technological aspects of materials science and engineering.The journal has a particular interest in the continuum from understanding of process routes leading to the generation of microstructure, through characterisation and understanding of how microstructure is controlled and manipulated, to the control and prediction of relevant engineering properties. 'Microstructure' is shorthand for nano/micro/meso/macrostructure, provided that 'structure' is identified at the appropriate size scale. 'Properties' may be electrical, mechanical, electronic, chemical, magnetic, thermal, optical, or biochemically related. Reports of the use of modelling, informatics and related approaches to enhance understanding and predict properties must include validation against experimental results.Contributions addressing any part of the continuum in an insightful manner, whatever the material system, are invited. What is important is that an attempt is made to relate 'properties' back to effects of 'microstructure'.Subscribers receive online access to the full back archive of MST included in their subscription. This archive provides complete coverage of MST back to Volume 1 (1985) and of its predecessors, Metal Science (1967-84) and Metals Technology (1974-84).

材料科學(xué)和技術(shù)是一個(gè)國(guó)際論壇，用于發(fā)表涉及材料科學(xué)和工程的基礎(chǔ)和技術(shù)方面的參考貢獻(xiàn)。期刊特別關(guān)注從了解導(dǎo)致微觀結(jié)構(gòu)生成的工藝路線，通過(guò)描述和理解微觀結(jié)構(gòu)如何控制和操作，到控制和預(yù)測(cè)相關(guān)工程特性的連續(xù)性。微觀結(jié)構(gòu)是納米/微/中/宏觀結(jié)構(gòu)的縮寫(xiě)，前提是“結(jié)構(gòu)”是在適當(dāng)?shù)某叽绯叨壬献R(shí)別出來(lái)的。屬性可以是電氣的、機(jī)械的、電子的、化學(xué)的、磁性的、熱的、光學(xué)的或生物化學(xué)的。使用模型、信息學(xué)和相關(guān)方法來(lái)增強(qiáng)理解和預(yù)測(cè)特性的報(bào)告必須包括對(duì)實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果的驗(yàn)證。請(qǐng)以富有洞察力的方式，無(wú)論物質(zhì)體系如何，對(duì)連續(xù)體的任何部分作出貢獻(xiàn)。重要的是試圖將“屬性”與“微觀結(jié)構(gòu)”的影響聯(lián)系起來(lái)。訂閱服務(wù)器可以在線訪問(wèn)訂閱中包含的MST的完整備份存檔。該檔案提供了從第一卷（1985年）到其前身金屬科學(xué)（1967-84年）和金屬技術(shù)（1974-84年）的MST的完整覆蓋。
