The Journal of Nanomechanics and Micromechanics brings science and applications together on nanoscale and nanostructured materials, with emphasis on mechanics, processing, characterization, design, modeling, and applications of materials containing true nanosize dimensions or nanostructures that describes novel or enhanced properties or functions that are based on tailored nanostructures. The Journal is directed at both academic researchers and practicing engineers.

The Journal highlights the continued growth and new challenges in nanomechanics and micromechanics for application development and for basic research and applications. All papers should emphasize original results relating to experimental, theoretical, or computational results, as well as applications of nanomaterials ranging from hard inorganic materials, through soft polymeric and biological materials, to hybrid materials or nanocomposites. The Journal contains research papers, review articles, research letters, and letters to the editor. The subject areas include: nanoparticles, nanocrystals, colloids, sols, and quantum dots; selfassemblies and directed assemblies of molecules and nanoparticles; films, membranes, and coatings; nanotubes, nanowires, nanofibers, nanorods, and nanobelts; nanoporous, mesoporous, and microporous materials; hierarchical structures and molecular-particle networks; surface and interface sciences and engineering; inorganic-organic hybrids or nanocomposites; nanoceramics, metals, and alloys; and nanomaterials atomic, molecular, and bulk characterization techniques. Areas of nanomaterials engineering and applications in general also include chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical technologies; catalysis, gas/liquid separations, and membrane reactors; energy conversion and storage devices/systems such as fuel cells and solar cells; electronics, photonics, and magnetics; sensors; telecommunications and food technologies; and medical, biological, and drug development.
