染料和顏料涵蓋了染料、顏料及其中間體的化學和物理的科學和技術方面。重點是著色物質本身的性質，而不是它們的應用或它們可能應用的系統。因此，該雜志接受關于染料、顏料和中間體的合成、其物理或化學性質（例如光譜、表面、溶液或固態特性）、其制備的物理方面（例如沉淀、成核和生長）、晶體形成、液晶特性的研究和評論論文。粘性物質，它們的光化學、生態或生物特性，以及顏色和化學成分之間的關系。然而，論文被認為是處理更基本的方面的著色劑的應用和著色劑與基板或介質的相互作用。該雜志將使從事染料、顏料及其中間體工作的眾多學科的工作者感興趣，并為具有共同興趣但活動領域不同的研究者提供平臺，如化妝品、復制品、染料和顏料合成、醫學研究、聚合物等。

Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
