Journal of Science and Technology of Composites
Due to their special properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, high ductility, high thermal strength, thermal insulation capability, composite materials have been widely used in various industries such as aerospace, marine, construction, etc. Today, scientific journals have played an important role in the development of knowledge and the advancement of theoretical, experimental, and laboratory sciences, and have created a bridge between scientists, researchers, and people in industries. As a result of these relations, scientific achievements have been transferred to the industrial sectors of the country, and by improving the level of production and commercialization of products, they will lead to the economic progress of the country. Dozens of journals in this specialized field in the world publish scientific and research articles by researchers. Due to the lack of specialized journals in the field of composites in the Persian language in Iran and the need to publish the findings of researchers, Iran University of Science and Technology, Iran Composites Scientific Association, and the Center of Excellence in Experimental Solid Mechanics in 2011 established the Journal of Science and Technology of Composites. The purpose of publishing this journal is to reflect the research findings of the academic and industrial experts in the field of composite materials and structures to university professors, researchers, students, and industrial experts.
