npj Materials Degradation

npj Materials Degradation considers basic and applied research that explores all aspects of the degradation of metallic and non-metallic materials. The journal broadly defines ‘materials degradation’ as a reduction in the ability of a material to perform its task in-service as a result of environmental exposure. The journal covers a broad range of topics including but not limited to: -Degradation of metals, glasses, minerals, polymers, ceramics, cements and composites in natural and engineered environments, as a result of various stimuli -Computational and experimental studies of degradation mechanisms and kinetics -Characterization of degradation by traditional and emerging techniques -New approaches and technologies for enhancing resistance to degradation -Inspection and monitoring techniques for materials in-service, such as sensing technologies

npj Materials Degradation 考虑基础和应用研究，探索金属和非金属材料降解的各个方面。该期刊将“材料降解”广泛定义为由于环境暴露而导致材料执行其使用任务的能力下降。 该期刊涵盖广泛的主题，包括但不限于： -在自然和工程环境中，由于各种刺激，金属、玻璃、矿物、聚合物、陶瓷、水泥和复合材料发生降解 -降解机制和动力学的计算和实验研究 -传统和新兴技术的降解特征 -增强抗降解能力的新方法和新技术 -使用中材料的检查和监控技术，例如传感技术
