Aims & Scope

Science of Sintering is a unique journal in the field of science and technology of sintering. Science of Sintering publishes papers on all aspects of theoretical and experimental studies, which can contribute to the better understanding of the behavior of powders and similar materials during consolidation processes. Emphasis is laid on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the thermodynamics, kinetics and mechanism of sintering and related processes. In accordance with the significance of disperse materials for the sintering technology, papers dealing with the question of ultradisperse powders, tribochemical activation and catalysis are also published. Science of Sintering journal is published four times a year. Types of contribution: Original research papers, Review articles, Letters to Editor, Book reviews.
