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.
Includes:
· New material development and characterization
· Design with various matrix and reinforcement materials
· Properties and performance, including CA analysis and prediction
· Processing and fabrication methods, including postforming 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, processing-economy, postformability, easier recycling, and improved performance.
Bimonthly issues publish original, illustrated reports by specialists in this technology from around the world. echnology from around the world.
Instructions to Authors
We welcome theoretical and experimental papers on polymers, nanocomposites, and particulate-, discontinuous-, and continuous-fiber-reinforced composite materials in the areas of processing, materials science, mechanics, durability, and nondestructive evaluation. We are interested in papers on multifunctional materials that yield enhanced properties through hybridization and the incorporation of sensors, actuators and devices. Case studies on applications, design methods and the manufacture of products are encouraged to establish future research directions. The journal depends almost entirely upon the voluntary contribution of articulate, accurate, and authoritative manuscripts. Multiple reviews of candidate manuscripts are solicited from international experts to assure high standards and technical veracity. It is our objective to provide equitable coverage of the entire field. The journal endorses the content and programs of appropriate trade associations and professional societies, but asserts its independent role in both the recording and, if necessary, appraising of their activities.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Submitting Papers to the Journal:
1. Electronic submission of the manuscript as a PDF or MS Word file attached to an email message sent to gillespie@ccm.udel.edu is the desired format for submission of papers. Otherwise, five double-spaced hard copies and one electronic version (on a 3.5 in. disk or CD using Microsoft Word in an IBM/PC format) should be submitted to:
Editor, Professor John W. Gillespie,
Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials,
201 CMSL,
Center for Composite Materials,
University of Delaware,
Newark,
DE 19716-3144, USA.
Revised manuscripts should be resubmitted in final print and electronic versions.
2. Centred title should be brief, followed by centred name, affiliation, address, country, and postal code (zip) of author(s). Indicate to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent, including a telephone number, fax number and e-mail address.
3. Include a 100-word abstract.
4. Include a list of key words.
5. A list of five potential reviewers should be submitted to the Editor at the time of manuscript submission [optional].
6. ILLUSTRATIONS
-Computer generated graphics. Any art that is sent electronically should be in .tif files, in 300 dpi resolution, for superior reproduction. Colour original should be saved as greyscale images.
-Line Drawings. Originals should always be submitted. Wherever possible, graphs should be boxed in, and scale divisions should be marked on the inside of the boxes. Grids should not be shown. Insofar as possible, explanations should be placed in the legend. Original drawings should not be larger than 20x25 cm (8x10 in); if this is impossible, they must be accompanied by two sets of small photoprints. Measurements should be indicated in SI units.
-Lettering should be planned for 50% reduction; text must be readable after reduction.
-Photographs. Photographs should be supplied as glossy prints, and wherever possible, of the same size as they are to appear in the journal. Illustrations should be referred to as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. The name(s) of the author(s) should be written on all illustrations, as should the Figure number. The indication 'Top' must be given, if necessary. Besides the original illustrations, one duplicate set must accompany each copy of the manuscript; these copies may be photoprints, if clear and legible.
-Text must be readable after reduction.
7. JOURNAL AND BOOK REFERENCES should be identified in the text using the Vancouver system [numbered notes throughout text, numbered list at end of article].
Literature references should be listed by number at the end of manuscript as reference number, Author(s), date, 'title of article,' title of publication, volume, page, publisher, place of publication, etc. Examples:
1. Name 1, A.A. and Name 2, B.B. (year of publication). A Method of Damage Detection for Rotating Systems, Journal Name, 107(3): 275-281.
2. Name, C.C. (year of publication). Title of Chapter, Book Name, Edition (if not first), page, publisher, place etc.
8. FIGURE, TABLE, EQUATION: spelled out in text, capitalized. Figure 1, Table 1, Equation (9)
9. TABLES. Number consecutively and type on a numbered, separate page.
Please use arabic numerals and supply a heading. Column headings should be explanatory and carry units (see example). Do not include vertical rules.
10. UNITS & ABBREVIATIONS. SI units should be used.
11. SYMBOLS. A list of symbols used and their meanings should be included if a
large number of symbols appears in the text.
12. PROOFREADING AND OFFPRINTS. Authors will receive page proofs, which
they should correct and return as soon as possible. An offprint order form for purchase of additional offprints will be provided. No free offprints can be provided; the correspondence author will receive one free copy of the journal for each contributor.
13. COPYRIGHT INFORMATION. All original journal articles are copyrighted in
the name of the publisher. All original articles accepted for publication must be accompanied by a signed copyright transfer agreement available from the journal editor or from the publisher's website. Previously copyrighted material may be published with the written permission of the copyright holder.
14. HEADINGS. Your article should be structured into sections. Normally two headings are used as follows:
Main Subhead: DESIGN OF A MICROWAVE INSTALLATION [all capital letters, centred]
Secondary Subhead: Principle of the Design Method [capitalize first letter of main words, left justified]
15. EQUATIONS. Number equations with arabic numbers enclosed in parentheses at the right-hand margin. Type superscripts and subscripts clearly above or below
the baseline, or mark them with a caret. Be sure that all symbols, letters, and numbers are distinguishable (e.g., 0 for zero, one or lowercase 'el', 'vee' or Greek nu).
16. PERMISSIONS. The author is responsible for obtaining releases from other publishers for Sage Publications to publish material copyrighted by someone else.
