Journal Information

Aims and Scope

e-Journal of Soft Materials (e-JSM) adapts to better meet the needs of scientists and engineers both in academia and industry who are participating in the fields of soft materials, and their basis and solution-oriented applications. The e-JSM offers rapid on-line publication of articles within 4 weeks of acceptance; where available it uses colorful tools including movies, animations, computer graphics and figures. The e-JSM aims to become the primary journal of interdisciplinary research and development on soft materials. The e-JSM is to publish original papers and reviewed articles of the highest quality. Reviewed articles will normally be published by invitation only.

Subjects covered in e-Journal of Soft Materials
All the fields of science and engineering on soft materials in chemistry, physics, agriculture, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, plastic engineering, civil engineering, architecture engineering, computer-aided science and engineering, and so on.
