Plastics, Rubber and Composites

Macromolecular Engineering

Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering provides an international forum for the publication of original, peer-reviewed research on the macromolecular engineering of polymeric and related materials and polymer matrix composites. Modern polymer processing is increasingly focused on macromolecular engineering: the manipulation of structure at the molecular scale to control properties and fitness for purpose of the final component. Intimately linked to this are the objectives of predicting properties in the context of an optimised design and of establishing robust processing routes and process control systems allowing the desired properties to be achieved reliably.

 

An authoritative and truly international forum for the presentation of the science and technology of the plastics, rubber and composites industries. In particular it addresses the following: the conversion of raw materials into products, using the full range of manufacturing and finishing products; the formulation of thermoplastics, elastomers and polymer based composites for specific applications; the way in which properties are affected by both processing variables and how the component is used; progress in extending the applications of polymers and improving service performance in materials, processing and design. Includes refereed papers, authoritative reviews, selected conference material and short technical communications. Subjects covered in recent issues: Converging flow measurements in polyethylene melts; Optimising fire properties of plasticised PVC compounds; Residual stresses in welded thermoplastics; Engineering applications of rubber in simple extension; Fibre orientation of short glass fibre reinforced polycarbonate composites under injection moulding conditions; Accelerated aging of nitrile rubber by chemiluminescence.

 

The main areas of interest are:

Processing of single and multiphase polymeric systems in quantified, controlled, or novel ways, across the length scales; novel processing technologies; rheology; process measurement, sensors, and control; formation of polymers by novel routes; recycling; choice and incorporation of additives 

Properties of these materials; tailoring of properties during processing; property-processing relationships; characterisation of products, across the length scales 

Modelling of processing and structure development (melt/solid/multiphase): numerical and analytical modelling; constitutive relationships; validation 

Measurement techniques for process control and materials characterisation 

Design methodologies, including knowledge based engineering design, and performance of end products

The journal's coverage will reflect growing common ground between the processing of polymers and of related materials in the fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and biomaterials sectors.
