Aims & Scope

Polymer-Plastics Technology and Materials provides a forum for the publication of peer-reviewed, English language articles and select reviews on all aspects of polymer-plastics technology and polymeric materials that are industry, semi-commercial, and/or research-oriented. The journal will consider articles on the following general areas: -Polymeric Materials- Polymer Technology and Applications- Bio-related Polymers/Bio-derived Materials- Specialty Polymers- Applied Polymer Science. The journal will consider original research articles, reviews, and book reviews. Proposals for special issues in all the above areas are welcome and should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief in the first instance.
