First Poster Competition on Materials Science
Information
The arrival of the Internet era made academic communication more convenient and diverse. Posters are a more intuitive and concise medium to display scholars' academic achievements. When we attend academic conferences, we see all kinds of eye-catching posters on display. Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) intends to combine the convenient communication medium of posters with the platform of the Internet to create a broader, more flexible manner of academic sharing. You don't need to travel; just upload your poster and enter for free.
Date: 5 August to 5 November
This poster contest, organized by the journal Materials, covers a number of hot topics in the materials field, including:
- Biomaterials and soft materials
- Smart materials
- Advanced nanomaterials and nanotechnology
- Flexible, wearable electronics, textiles and sensors
- Structural and functional materials
- Materials for energy, storage and conversion
- Novel electronic and optical materials
Materials (ISSN 1996-1944; CODEN: MATEG9) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal of materials science and engineering published semi-monthly online by MDPI. It has been indexed by the Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), Ei Compendex and other databases. Citations are available in PubMed, and a full-text archive in PubMed Central. The 2019 Impact Factor is 3.057 and the 5-year Impact Factor is 3.424.
We look forward to sharing your work!
