The Journal of Plastic Film and Sheeting improves communication concerning plastic film and sheeting with major emphasis on the propogation of knowledge which will serve to advance the science and technology of these products and thus better serve industry and the ultimate consumer. The journal reports on the wide variety of advances that are rapidly taking place in the technology of plastic film and sheeting. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The journal looks at developments in: ■Adhesives and sealants ■Curing and coatings ■Wood coatings and preservatives ■Environmentally compliant coating systems and pigments ■Inks for food packaging ■Manufacturing machinery - reactors, mills mixing and dispersing equipment, pumps ■Packaging, labeling and storage ■Plus topical features and news on materials, coatings, industry people, conferences, books and so on ■Raw materials such as pigments, solvents, resins and chemicals ■Testing equipment and procedures

IJSurfSE publishes refereed quality papers in the broad field of surface science and engineering including tribology, but with a special emphasis on the research and development in friction, wear, coatings and surface modification processes such as surface treatment, cladding, machining, polishing and grinding, across multiple scales from nanoscopic to macroscopic dimensions. High-integrity and high-performance surfaces of components have become a central research area in the professional community whose aim is to develop highly reliable ultra-precision devices.

Transactions of the Institute of Metal Finishing provides international peer-reviewed coverage of all aspects of surface finishing and surface engineering, from fundamental research to in-service applications. The coverage is principally concerned with the application of surface engineering and coating technologies to enhance the properties of engineering components and assemblies. These techniques include electroplating and electroless plating and their pre- and post-treatments, thus embracing all cleaning pickling and chemical conversion processes, and also complementary processes such as anodising. Increasingly, other processes are becoming important particularly regarding surface profile, texture, opacity, contact integrity, etc.
