Materials Science & Engineering Research: Articles / Databases

Last Updated: Oct 17, 2024 2:48 PM

Use the databases listed below to search for and find articles on topics in materials design and innovation. The Annual Review provides online versions of review articles in materials science and engineering. Listed below that are major multidisciplinary databases followed by engineering-focused databases and then major e-journal packages that can be searched like databases. There will be some overlap in these databases, but they will also all have unique materials in them.
