Professor Mike Reece, Professor of Functional Ceramics at Queen Mary University of London, UK and Chair of the IOM3 Functional Materials Committee, has been appointed as the new Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Applied Ceramics.
The latest issue of Applied Earth Science is part 2 of the special issue on the geology of iron ore deposits, consisting of papers selected by the editors, Dr Simon Dominy (Snowden Group, UK) and Professor Neil Phillips (Phillipsgold Pty Ltd / University of Melbourne, Australia), from recent AusIMM Iron Ore meetings in Australia. The articles give an overview of industry-focused research in this field.
This November we are celebrating Surface Engineeringas our Journal of the Month. One of the Institute’s cluster of publications on surface science and engineering, Surface Engineering falls within the remit of the IOM3 Surface Engineering Division. It is published on behalf of the Institute by Maney. Visit the Journal of the Month page to view articles from Editor and Editorial Board, the history of the journal, discounted subscriptions and access free online content.
Dr Scott Drawer, UK Sport and Dr Peter Bonfield, BRE, will present the plenary lectures at the IOM3 Materials Congress 2012 - 'Innovation and Enterprise for Sporting Performance and Infrastructure' in June 2012.
We have chosen to highlight one of the IOM3's long established review journals this June: International Materials Reviews. Read on for details of the Journal of the Month page, articles and free online content.
The 2010 Davidge award was won by Cekdar Vakifahmetoglu for his review on the ‘Fabrication and properties of ceramic 1D nanostructures from preceramic polymers’. His article is published in Vol. 110, Issue 4, 2011 of Advances in Applied Ceramics and is freely accessible onlinethroughout May and June 2011.
This special issue of STWJ commemorates the publication of over 1000 articles since the journal’s inception in 1996. Leading international researchers were asked to assess their subject area and speculate on future developments. The issue was published in Vol. 16, Issue 4 of 2011.
The recently published 2011:4 issue of the journal Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering(PRC:ME) focuses on themodelling of elastomeric materials and products.Guest edited by Dr James Busfield, Queen Mary, University of London, UK, the special issue presents a selection of papers based on presentations at the meeting on this topic organised by the Rubber in Engineering Group (RIEG) of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining in October 2010.
Issue 2 of Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering features a selection of articles from the 21st International SICOMP conference focusing on the manufacturing and design of composites. View this article to find out how to IOM3 members can access content freely.
