About the Journal

Greensusmater is a premier, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of sustainable and green material science. Our aim is to serve as a global platform for researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in the development of green and sustainable materials, to share their insights, discuss theories, and promote environmentally responsible practices in materials science. We also aim to inspire collaboration, stimulate new ideas, and facilitate the practical application of research findings towards a greener and more sustainable world.

Aims and Scope

Greensusmater is dedicated to promoting scientific advancement in materials that enable sustainable development, environmental protection, and circular economy practices. The editors' welcome comprehensive articles, short communications, and reviews addressing the use of Green and Sustainable Materials to solve global problems with emphasizing the materials aspect. The paper submitted to Green and Sustainable materials must be within the two main scopes including

  1. Design of synthesis process and materials with sustainable approach.
  2. Sensing and eliminating contamination and hazardous materials.

Example topic areas within the scope of GREENSUSMATER are listed below.

  • Biodegradable Plastics
  • Materials for Green Building
  • Sustainable waste management
  • Green process and technology
  • Materials for clean energy
  • Sensors
  • Gas capture/separation/storage
  • Photocatalyst
  • Soil, water, air remediations
