Call for papers for two new ASTM journals

Words: Kathy AulwesASTM is seeking original technical papers, review papers, and technical notes for its two new journals:

Advances in Civil Engineering Materials (ACEM) publishes high quality articles on the properties and performance of materials such as concrete, asphalt, steel, polymers and polymeric composites, and wood for use in pavements, bridges and buildings, and other applications.

Materials Performance and Characterization (MPC) features articles on both the theoretical and practical aspects of the structure, processing, properties and performance of materials used in mechanical, transportation, aerospace, energy systems and medical devices. These materials include metals and alloys, glass and ceramics, polymers, composite materials, textiles, and nanomaterials.

For more information about each journal’s scope, editorial board, and subscription options, visit: Advances in Civil Engineering Materials; Materials Performance and Characterization or contact Kathy Dernoga at 610-832-9617.
