About the Journal

The Journal of Sustainable Smart Materials and Structural Systems (JSSMSS) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in the fields of smart materials, sustainable composites, and structural systems. The journal serves as a multidisciplinary platform for scientists, engineers, academics, and industry practitioners involved in the design, innovation, development, and deployment of advanced materials and intelligent systems. This journal is hosted by Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian Institute of Marine Engineering Technology (MIMET), Jalan Pantai Remis Lumut Perak, Malaysia. JSSMSS is published by Life Science global Publishing. The UNIKL MIMET commitment to genuine open access to scholarly content extends to authors as a service to the research community.

JSSMSS encourages original research, review articles, and case studies that explore the integration of sustainability principles and smart functionalities in materials and structural engineering. The journal prioritizes contributions that demonstrate innovative approaches toward environmental impact reduction, resource efficiency, and technological advancement.

The focus is on original research utilising the analytical, numerical, modelling, and experimental methods, in all areas of mechanical engineering and sciences, including application to the solution of challenges and problems in engineering technology.

JSSMSS is committed to advancing the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The journal supports research that aligns with key Sustainable Development Goals, including:

SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: Promoting innovation in smart material technologies and infrastructure development.
SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities: Enabling resilient and sustainable building materials and structural solutions.
SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production: Encouraging circular economy practices and recyclable materials.
SDG 13 – Climate Action: Reducing environmental impact through green design and energy-efficient systems.
SDG 14 & 15 – Life Below Water & Life on Land: Promoting eco-friendly marine and terrestrial structural applications.
