The Journal of Polymer Engineering is a journal that publishes the most recent technological developments in polymer engineering. It also tackles original basic and applied research contributions. Polymer engineering is considered as a highly interdisciplinary field that tackles subjects like chemistry, physics, engineering and applications of polymeric materials.
Significant contributions from related fields such as bio materials, renewable energy, nanotechnology, photonics, polymers for biomedical and electronic applications are encouraged. The editors and the publisher have to keep up high quality as well as handling review and publication process rapidly. The journal was previously published by Freund Publishing House Ltd.
Online Access
The 2011 volume of Journal of Polymer Engineering will be available for the first time online on the online platform Reference Global of De Gruyter. Authors that publish with De Gruyter can benefit its user-friendly Author Services area and state-of-the-art technical infrastructure of the Reference thus allowing an optimum visibility, usage and citation of their publications.
Since the platform started in 2008, a large number of libraries, universities and institutions have been receiving the electronic publications via Reference Global. . Among the members of the platform are scholars, students, librarians and many more users that benefit from their advantageous services and purchase options.
Polymer engineering
Polymer engineering is generally an engineering field that designs, analyses, and/or modifies polymer materials. The aspects covered by polymer engineering includes petrochemical industry, compounding and processing of polymers and description of major polymers, structure and characterization of polymers, , polymerization, structure property relations and properties of polymers.
The of polymers’ areas of application is defined by its basic division into thermoplastics and thermosets. The latter group includes materials like phenolic resins, polyesters and epoxy resins.
