宗旨： 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 The journal offers more choice to Nature Portfolio authors who are seeking a fully open-access and more inclusive platform for publishing their work. The journal is led by materials degradation experts who collaborate to cultivate high-quality research. As part of the <a href='https://www.nature.com/nature-portfolio/about/npj-series'>npj Series</a>, this journal focuses on fostering global partnerships with the research community and other Springer Nature journals.
