《材料與設(shè)計(jì)》出版原創(chuàng)研究報(bào)告、評(píng)論文章和通訊快報(bào)，內(nèi)容涵蓋無機(jī)和有機(jī)材料的結(jié)構(gòu)和性能研究、合成、加工、表征和測(cè)試方面的進(jìn)展、材料和工程系統(tǒng)的設(shè)計(jì)以及技術(shù)應(yīng)用。該雜志是多學(xué)科的性質(zhì)，并尋求將材料科學(xué)、工程、物理和化學(xué)方面的內(nèi)容結(jié)合起來。在探索從材料到設(shè)計(jì)的主題時(shí)，它也追求闡明自然和人工之間的潛在聯(lián)系，以及實(shí)驗(yàn)和建模。提交給材料和設(shè)計(jì)的手稿力求包含發(fā)現(xiàn)和驚喜的元素，通常伴隨著對(duì)物質(zhì)的結(jié)構(gòu)和功能的新見解的獲得。

Materials and Design publishes original research reports, review articles and express communications covering the studies of structure and properties of inorganic and organic materials, advances in synthesis, processing, characterisation and testing, design of materials and engineering systems, and applications in technology. The journal is multi-disciplinary in nature, and seeks to bring together aspects of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry. In exploring the themes ranging from materials to design, it also pursues the elucidation of underlying connections between natural and artificial, and experiment and modelling.Manuscripts submitted to Materials and Design are sought to contain elements of discovery and surprise that often accompany the obtention of new insights into the architecture and function of matter.
