The IPPT Reports on Fundamental Technological Research (IPPT Reports) has been published by the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research since 1967, as both an English and Polish.
IPPT Reports serves as an international open-access platform for publishing high-quality research focused on the fundamental aspects of applied science and engineering.
The mission is to promote current achievements in a wide range of engineering fields, including mechanical engineering, materials engineering, biomedical engineering, and information and communication technology.
The scope includes theoretical, experimental, and computational research across various fields such as:
- Mechanics of multifunctional materials
- Micromechanics of materials
- Mechanics of surface layers
- Fracture mechanics
- Nonlinear elastic behavior of crystal structures
- Modelling of damage and fracture
- Modelling of microstructure evolution
- Non-linear dynamics of continuous and discrete systems
- Multicomponent and multifunctional materials
- Functional nanomaterials and nanocomposites
- Structural materials
- Synthetic and natural polymers
- Shape memory alloys
- Smart materials
- Laser material processing
- Ultrasonic diagnosis of materials
- Micro- and nanoflows
- Ultrasound in biomedicine
- Wave phenomena in materials and planar structures
- Systems biology
- Biophysics
- Bioengineering
- Bioinformatics and neuroinformatics
- Artificial intelligence & machine learning
- Mobile robotics
- Structural control and health monitoring
- Dynamic phenomena in mechanical systems and structures
- FEM modeling
Our focus is on publishing original and significant new findings in various publication types, including:
- Monographs and Theses: Monographs, PhD, and Habilitation theses (standard – above 50 journal pages).
- Topical Reviews: Commissioned by the Editorial Board, though suggestions for review topics are welcome (standard – above 50 journal pages).
- Research Papers: Original research with new and outstanding contributions to their respective fields (standard – up to 50 journal pages).
- Rapid Communications: New, timely, and exceptional research achievements in their respective fields (standard – up to 30 journal pages).
- Research Reports: Significant and up-to-date research results (standard – up to 20 journal pages).
- Short Notes: New and promising research results (standard – up to 10 journal pages).
Additionally, other publications, such as contributions to special topic issues or conference reports collected in conference proceedings, are published online in one special issue of the journal, which includes:
- Special Topic Issues
- Conference Proceedings
All submitted materials are peer-reviewed by experts in the field. The IPPT Reports are published in English or Polish, and all IPPT Reports are assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs).
