Polymers and Polymer Composites

Aims & Scope

Since its inception in 1993, Polymers & Polymer Composites has provided an ongoing forum for the publication of expertly peer reviewed, international research into the following topics: - Fibre reinforced and particulate filled plastics - Engineering plastics, (whether reinforced or not) - Nanocomposites - Polymers or polyblends intended for engineering use (including structural, load bearing electronic and electrical applications) - Fibre reinforced and particulate filled plastics - Structural adhesives - Textile & wood fibres - Biomaterials with a load bearing capacity, (including polymer based dental materials) The journal is rigorous in accepting papers solely on the basis of novelty and a thorough interpretation of results.

Furthermore, in such a fast-moving field, prompt publication is essential, thus we aim to offer improved and rapid access to new research, developed at the leading edge of industry and academia.
