Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites is a fully peer reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on a broad range of topics on today's reinforced plastics and composites including: Polymers (with or without fiber or particulate fillers) intended for engineering uses, including automotive and aerospace industries, building and constructions, wear and corrosion, biomedical devices and sensors, electronic and electrical applications.

Composite material data that are comprehensive, demonstrate some unique feature or new phenomenon.

Testing, predictive models, analysis and computational methods for the design of structures constructed from composite materials.

Novel processing and fabrication methods.

Reviews of special topics such as recycling, environmental effects, novel materials, computer-aided design, predictive modelling, and "smart” composites.
