Frontiers for Engineering Materials: (Volumes 118-119 Key Engineering Materials)

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). Significant advances in materials technology have been made in recent years, by both university and industrial research laboratories. It is of great importance that there should be free transfer of information and technology between the research laboratory, industry, and marketplace. Such transfer and dissemination is promoted by Frontiers for Engineering Materials.
