"Advanced Functional Materials" is a peer-reviewed materials science journal published twenty four times per year. Established in 2001, by Peter Gregory, the Editor of Advanced Materials, when the Wiley journal Advanced Materials for Optics and Electronics was discontinued, "Advanced Functional Materials" is the sister journal to "Advanced Materials" and publishes full papers, feature articles, and highlights on the development and applications of functional materials, including topics in chemistry, physics, nanotechnology, ceramics, metallurgy, and biomaterials. Frequent topics covered by the journal also include liquid crystals, semiconductors, superconductors, optics, lasers, sensors, porous materials, light-emitting materials, magnetic materials, thin films, and colloids. Peter Gregory edited the journal from 2001-2002, then Esther Levy from 2002 -2006, and now the Editor is Dr. David Flanagan.

The 2007 ISI Impact Factor of "Advanced Functional Materials" was 7.496. [Journal Citation Reports, 2008 ]

Other journals in the "Advanced Functional Materials" family are:
*"Advanced Materials", which has the same scope and standards as "Advanced Functional Materials", but publishes shorter Communications, as well as Reviews and Research News.
*"Small", which focuses on experimental and theoretical studies of fundamental and applied interdisciplinary research at the micro- and nanometer scale.
*"Chemical Vapor Deposition", which publishes Reviews, Short Communications, and Full Papers on all aspects of chemical vapor deposition and related technologies.
