Aims and Scope

The Journal of Intelligent Material (JIM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing original research articles, critical reviews, and cutting-edge developments in the field of intelligent and responsive materials. JIM provides a multidisciplinary platform for scientists, engineers, and innovators to share advances in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of materials that respond dynamically to environmental stimuli.

JIM focuses on materials that exhibit properties such as self-healing, self-sensing, adaptability, and actuation, playing critical roles in emerging fields like soft robotics, wearable technologies, biomedical devices, and smart infrastructure. The journal encourages submissions that demonstrate the fusion of material science with AI, machine learning, or smart system integration, paving the way for next-generation functional materials.
