Scope
Aims, scope and focus
New Carbon Materials publishes original research papers devoted to the physics, chemistry and technology of the organic substances that are precursors for producing aromatically or tetrahedrally bonded carbonaceous solids, and of the materials that may be produced from those organic precursors. These materials range from diamond and graphite through chars, semicokes, mesophase substances, carbons, carbon fibers, carbynes, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, etc. The journal aims to present the newest research findings and advances related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Papers on the secondary production of new carbon and composite materials (for instance, carbon-carbon composites) from the above mentioned various carbons are also within the scope of the journal. Papers on organic substances will be considered only if the research has close relation to the resulting carbon materials.
