*The Impact Factor provides an indication of the average number of citations per paper. Produced annually, Impact Factors are calculated by dividing the number of citations in a year by the number of citeable articles published in the preceding two years. Data based on 2013 Journal Citation Reports®, (Thomson Reuters, 2014).









mechanical properties, including high thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity, whilst being chemically reactive but also environmentally benign.
