Materials Characterization is an active peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials. It was established in 1968 and is published monthly by Elsevier.

The journal covers a wide range of topics related to materials science, including the structure and composition of materials, as well as their properties, including both conventional and advanced materials, and encompassing mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties. The journal also covers topics related to the characterisation of materials, including methods for analysing the microstructure and composition of materials, as well as techniques for measuring their properties.

The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and case studies. Original research articles present the results of experimental or theoretical studies, while review articles provide an overview of recent developments in specific areas of materials science. Case studies provide real-world examples of how the properties of materials are being characterised and used in various applications. The journal also includes regular features such as editorial comments and book reviews, providing readers with a comprehensive overview of the field.

The Internet Archive Collection contains microfilm published between 1968 and 2003.
