Über diese Zeitschrift

The International Journal of Materials Research (IJMR) publishes original, experimental and theoretical papers on basic and applied research in the field of materials science and engineering, with a focus on synthesis, processing, constitution and properties of all classes of materials, including hybrid and biomaterials. Comprehensive reviews are also welcome. Particular emphasis is placed on a scientific understanding of the microstructure–property relationship. Thus, experimental or computational studies on thermodynamics and kinetics as well as knowledge-based materials design are of primary interest. Contributions may also focus on progress in advanced characterization techniques.

All papers are peer-reviewed.

Complete Archive Access

As of 2026, all De Gruyter journal subscriptions include access to every issue, from Volume 1, Issue 1 through to today, meaning subscribers can access even more research at no additional cost.

Study on the diffusion behavior between NiAlCoCr nickel-based alloy and high entropy alloys

28. Januar 2026

Jinkun Xiao, Zhanqi E, Na Ta, Juan Chen, Lijun Zhang

PDF downloaden

By combining solid-state diffusion couple experiments with a numerical inverse method, the interdiffusion coefficients in NiAlCoCr/CoCrFeMn 0.2 Ni and NiAlCoCr/CoCrCu 0.2 FeNi diffusion couples were determined at 1,273–1,373 K, and their reliability was verified. The main interdiffusion coefficients on the NiAlCoCr alloy side were greater than those on the high-entropy alloy side at 1,273–1,373 K. The main interdiffusion coefficients followed the trend: D ˜ MnMn Ni > D ˜ CuCu Ni > D ˜ CrCr Ni > D ˜ FeFe Ni > D ˜ CoCo Ni at 1,273 K. Tracer diffusion coefficients were calculated for both the CoCrFeMn 0.2 Ni/NiAlCoCr and CoCrCu 0.2 FeNi/NiAlCoCr diffusion couples at 1,273–1,373 K. Furthermore, the composition-dependent diffusion activation energies of the tracer diffusion coefficients were analyzed in the CoCrCu 0.2 FeNi/NiAlCoCr diffusion couple.

Enhanced mechanical strength and water resistance of bamboo/epoxy composites using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-treated fibers for structural applications

17. Dezember 2025

This study investigates the influence of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) treatment on bamboo long fibers to improve their performance in epoxy composites. Bamboo fibers were treated with PVA solutions at 1 %, 3 %, and 5 % and incorporated into epoxy matrices fabricated by hand lay-up. Microscopy revealed that 3 % PVA formed a uniform coating on fiber surfaces, enhancing adhesion with the matrix. Mechanical testing showed that PVA treatment improved tensile strength (from 32 to 39 MPa) and modulus (from 0.9 to 1.8 GPa), while impact resistance slightly decreased due to restricted fiber pull-out. Water absorption was also reduced, with 3 % PVA composites exhibiting the lowest uptake. Overall, PVA treatment is demonstrated as an effective and environmentally friendly modification method that enhances the mechanical strength and durability of bamboo/epoxy composites, making them more suitable for structural applications.

Residual stress relief in B₄C/TC4 joints brazed with Mo foil/AgCuTi–W/Ag–Cu foil/Nb foil composite interlayer

28. Januar 2026

Zhaoran Chen, Xuejian Liu, Zhaoquan Zhang

PDF downloaden

The investigation of novel, high-strength joining techniques for boron carbide ceramics and titanium alloys was posited to significantly improve the ballistic resistance of advanced ceramic–metal composite armor systems. Previous research pertaining to the brazing of ceramics and metals utilizing Ag–Cu–Ti filler alloys was conducted. Utilizing the Ag–Cu–Ti brazing system as the primary material facilitated the vacuum brazing process between B 4 C ceramics and TC4 titanium alloy. To alleviate the residual thermal stress within the B 4 C/TC4 joint, materials with a low thermal expansion coefficient, specifically tungsten (W), along with refractory metal foils such as Mo foil and Nb foil, were incorporated. A robust connection between B 4 C and TC4 was successfully established by implementing a composite brazing system comprising Mo foil, AgCuTi–W, AgCu foil, and Nb foil. The inclusion of 5 wt.% W content refined the intermediate layer, resulting in a denser organization. Upon the addition of 5 wt.% W, the shear strength attained its peak value of approximately 75 MPa, signifying an 87.5 % surge in comparison to the condition without the additive. Optimizing the mechanical performance of the B 4 C/TC4 joint was possible by prudently integrating suitable quantities of low expansion coefficient materials alongside intermediate brazing layers. Significantly, the combination system comprising nickel-plated B 4 C + Mo foil + AgCuTi-5 wt.% W + AgCu foil + Nb foil + TC4 displayed the utmost shear strength, approximately 101 MPa.

Synthesis of HfB₂ powders by reduction of HfO₂ with BN/C in a spark plasma sintering furnace

12. Januar 2026

Yaxin Wang

PDF downloaden

The reduction of HfO 2 to produce HfB 2 powder currently represents the most cost-effective synthesis method. However, reduction processes employing B 2 O 3 , B 4 C or elemental B invariably involve volatile B 2 O 3 species, which damage high-temperature furnaces. This work reports an alternative approach using BN/C as reductants in a spark plasma sintering (SPS) furnace to synthesize HfB 2 . The reaction mechanism involves two sequential steps: initial reduction of HfO 2 by C to form non-stoichiometric HfC 1- x , followed by reaction between HfC 1- x and BN to yield HfB 2 . At 1,600 °C, phase-pure HfB 2 powder with ultralow oxygen content (0.47 wt.%) was obtained. The synthesized powder exhibits submicron particle size ( d 50 = 0.184 μm) and a distinctive bimodal distribution pattern.

You will be guided through the whole submission process.

Before preparing a manuscript, please read the journal’s Instructions for Authors carefully and have a look at our Ethical Guidelines.

The Template for Ethical and Legal Declarations is required for submission (this needs to be customized by the submitting author on behalf of all others and uploaded as a separate doc-file at the time of the original submission).

Please adhere to the journal’s Data Sharing Policy: We encourage authors to provide a data availability statement. Please refer to the Data Sharing Policy for guidance on how to write a data availability statement.

Peer review

IJMR is a single-anonymized journal. Manuscripts which fulfill the substantive and formal criteria are reviewed anonymously by at least two independent reviewers selected by the Editors (for Short Communications at least one independent reviewer). During submission, the authors must provide the names, institution, academic position within this institution, country and email addresses of at least three potential high-profile researchers as reviewers. Only one of these three proposed referees may have an affiliation in the same country and/or the same nationality as the authors (specific reasons must be provided for every suggestion as well as the suggested reviewer’s entry on their institutional webpage). Authors may also provide names of reviewers they wish to exclude from reviewing their manuscripts.

When an article is accepted after peer review, the manuscript undergoes language and style copyediting. Fully accepted articles (after copyediting!) will usually be published online within 4–6 weeks of acceptance as a DOI-citable, forward-linked article for quickest possible visibility for the scientific community.
