Nanodielectrics are materials containing nanostructures that modulate or otherwise affect their dielectric properties. IET Nanodielectrics is a fully gold Open Access journal, encompassing the full scope of research in these advanced materials, including (but not limited to):

(1) Fundamental properties of dielectric advanced materials:

• Nano-structures in solid-state and liquid dielectric materials, including: clusters, layered materials, coatings and nanophases
• Chemistry and physics of dielectric materials
• Dielectric surfaces
• Interfaces between dielectric materials and between dielectric and non-dielectric materials
• Composition, structure and properties of nanodielectrics e.g. , polymer nanocomposites, epoxy micro-composites, ionic and covalent solid-state materials, ceramics, dendrimers and monolayer surfactants

(2) Analysis of dielectric properties:

• Design and preparation of dielectric phases of all types of materials
• Measurements of dielectric material properties
• Simulations of dielectric phenomena

(3) Applications of advanced dielectric materials:

• High voltage electrical insulation
• High density energy storage capacitors and capacitors formed with nano-structured electrode plates
• Devices formed of electronic ceramics and dielectric polymers
• Electroactive polymer devices
• Functional films
• Devices exploiting nanostructured piezoelectric materials
• Other uses of advanced dielectric materials, including: electronic skin, wearable electronic clothing and health monitoring
