BMC Materials is now closed. BMC will continue to host an archive of all articles published in BMC Materials and it will remain fully searchable via the BMC website: you can view all the published articles here.
Prospective authors might wish to submit to BMC Biomedical Engineering, SN Applied Sciences or Discover Materials, a fully open access journal committed to providing all authors a streamlined submission process, rapid review and publication, and a high level of author service at every stage.
