The Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials is a fully peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on polymers, nanocomposites, and particulate-, discontinuous-, and continuous-fiber-reinforced materials in the areas of processing, materials science, mechanics, durability, design, non destructive evaluation and manufacturing science. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials is a fully peer reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on thermoplastic polymers and their composites in the areas of synthesis, processing, materials science, mechanics, impact, durability, design, nondestructive evaluation, and manufacturing science. Articles on novel synthesis and characterization methods, processing-microstructure-property relationships for multi-functional composites, multi-scale modeling for materials design, processing and applications and recycling and sustainability of thermoplastic composites fall within the scope of this journal.

Includes:

  • Novel synthesis and characterization methods for polymers and fiber-matrix interface development
  • Processing-microstructure-property relationships for multi-functional composites (nanocomposites, particulate-, discontinuous-, and continuous-fiber-reinforced materials and hybrids)
  • Multi-scale modeling from the atomic to the continuum level for both materials design, processing, and applications
  • Recycling and sustainability of thermoplastic composites
  • Processing and automated fabrication methods, including additive manufacturing, tape placement, forming and joining
  • Design, manufacturing, and applications case histories

There is currently renewed interest in thermoplastic composite materials because of the advantages these materials offer in terms of fracture resistance, high-rate production, formability, joining, recyclability, and improved performance.

Monthly issues publish original, illustrated reports by specialists in this technology from around the world.
