History

• The journal was launched in 2016 by Elsevier as a companion to the Composites Part B and Composite Structures family, with the first volume appearing in the same year该刊于 2016 年由爱思唯尔作为复合材料 B 辑与复合材料结构家族的姊妹刊创办，首卷同年出版。
• It was conceived to provide a rapid publication outlet for short communications in composites, complementing the full-length article format of the parent journals该刊定位为复合材料短通讯的快速发表平台，与母刊的长篇论文格式互补。
• The Journal Impact Factor moved from 6.617 in 2021 to 7.685 in 2022, then to 7.7 in 2024 and 8.6 in 2025, maintaining first quartile standing in materials science composites该刊影响因子由 2021 年的 6.617 升至 2022 年的 7.685，2024 年为 7.7，2025 年升至 8.6，始终居材料科学复合材料类第一四分位。
• The journal has progressively expanded its coverage of nanocomposites and smart and multifunctional composites, reflecting the evolution of composites research toward advanced and functional materials该刊逐步扩展对纳米复合材料与智能及多功能复合材料的覆盖，以呼应复合材料研究向先进与功能材料的演进。
• The publisher carries the journal on the ScienceDirect platform and the digital object identifier prefix of its articles is 10.1016, shared with other Elsevier titles出版方将该刊载于科学直通平台，其文章的数字对象唯一标识符前缀为（10.1016），与爱思唯尔其他期刊一致。

Editors

• The journal is led by an editor-in-chief supported by an international editorial board whose members are drawn from universities, research institutes and industrial composites laboratories across the world该刊由一位主编带领，配以由世界各地大学、研究机构与工业复合材料实验室学者组成的国际编委会。
• The editorial board includes section editors responsible for subject areas such as polymer composites, metal and ceramic composites, nanocomposites and smart composites, reflecting the breadth of the journal编委会设有领域编辑，分别负责聚合物复合材料、金属与陶瓷复合材料、纳米复合材料与智能复合材料等方向，对应刊物的广泛覆盖。
• Editorial handling follows the Elsevier editorial management system, with submissions assigned to handling editors based on subject expertise and competing interest declarations稿件处理依托爱思唯尔的编辑管理系统，依据学科专长与利益冲突声明分配责任编辑。
• Peer review is single-blind and the journal maintains the Elsevier standards on reviewer recruitment, conflict of interest management, data sharing and editorial independence同行评审采用单盲方式，该刊遵循爱思唯尔在审稿人遴选、利益冲突管理、数据共享与编辑独立性方面的标准。
• The masthead and board roster are published on the journal page at ScienceDirect and updated as new members join or existing members step down编委名单在科学直通期刊页公布，并随成员增减而更新。
