Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part N: Journal of Nanomaterials, Nanoengineering and Nanosystems

The Journal of Nanomaterials, Nanoengineering and Nanosystems is a fully peer reviewed journal dedicated to the particular aspects of nanoscale engineering, science, and technology that involve the modelling, fabrication and characterization of nanoscale materials and systems. The Journal also serves researchers at the interfaces of chemistry, materials science, physics and engineering.

The Journal is concerned with approaches for the synthesis or fabrication of materials, devices, and processes where function of the nanoscale components is central to the overall performance. It provides a forum for those involved in the invention, modeling, fabrication, and analysis, of nanoscale systems, and their applications, and those working at the interface of chemistry, materials science, physics and engineering. The nanoscale systems can be made by top-down or bottom-up methods.
