IJSMSS promotes and fosters discussion involving sustainable materials, components, structures, and infrastructural systems, with emphasis on technical advances in sustainable materials and structural systems. The journal covers both basic and applied research in physics, engineering and materials science over different time and space scales and also industrial applications. Published with the support and cooperation of Southeast University.
Topics covered include
- High performances, long life cycles, low life cycle costs
- High resource productivity/recyclability/energy efficiency/multifunctionality
- Smart/environmentally-adaptable materials, green composites/materials
- Eco-friendly/biodiversity-natural/healthy/recyclable materials
- Molecular/nano/micro/macro-structures/processability/characterisation/evaluation
- Eco/life cycle approaches, incl. policy, standards, regulations
- Alternative material/microstructure control, nanocomposite technologies
- Material/structural reliability/durability, applications
- Life assessment under composite/severe environmental loading
- Intelligent, nature-mimicking, biological, bio/life-inspired materials etc
- Design concepts/technologies, carbon reduction, environment adaption
- Environmental/disaster impact monitoring/control, damage implications
- Risk/vulnerability modelling/quantification/analysis/criteria/decision support

Objectives
The primary goal of IJSMSS is to provide a permanent record of achievement in the science, technology and engineering application of sustainable materials, structures, and infrastructure systems.
Readership
IJSMSS is intended for an audience of researchers, educators, practitioners, infrastructure management stakeholders and policy makers world-wide working in developing sustainable materials, structures and infrastructure systems with a background in material, chemical, civil, environmental, aerospace, mechanical, petrochemical, marine and automotive engineering.
Contents
The central aim of the IJSMSS is to publish a broad blend of scientific, technical and practical papers, current literature reviews, technical and interpretive notes, brief communications, and book reviews. Special Issues devoted to important topics in scientific and technological advances, very important case studies and conference reports will occasionally be published.
