About the journal

Polymer Degradation and Stability  

Polymer Degradation and Stability deals with the degradation reactions and their control which are a major preoccupation of practitioners of the many and diverse aspects of modern polymer technology.

Deteriorative reactions occur during processing, when polymers are subjected to heat, oxygen and mechanical stress, and during the useful life of the materials when oxygen and sunlight are the most important degradative agencies. In more specialised applications, degradation may be induced by high energy radiation, ozone, atmospheric pollutants, mechanical stress, biological action, hydrolysis and many other influences. The mechanisms of these reactions and stabilisation processes must be understood if the technology and application of polymers are to continue to advance. The reporting of investigations of this kind is therefore a major function of this journal.

However there are also new developments in polymer technology in which degradation processes find positive applications. For example, photodegradable plastics are now available, the recycling of polymeric products will become increasingly important, degradation and combustion studies are involved in the definition of the fire hazards which are associated with polymeric materials and the microelectronics industry is vitally dependent upon polymer degradation in the manufacture of its circuitry. Polymer properties may also be improved by processes like curing and grafting, the chemistry of which can be closely related to that which causes physical deterioration in other circumstances.

Radiation of various kinds is used to initiate many of these modern technological processes so that polymer photochemistry has come to a new prominence and finds a major place in this journal.

The study of all these processes has made extensive use of modern instrumental analytical methods and the various spectrometric, chromatographic and thermal analysis techniques have been particularly prominent.

There is clearly a strong common bond between investigations in various parts of the field. Polymer Degradation and Stability provides a forum for the publication of their work.

Instructions to Authors

Submission of Papers

All papers should be written in English. Authors are requested to submit their original manuscript and figures with three copies plus a disk to either: Professor N.C. Billingham, School of Chemistry Physics and Environmental Science, University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton BN1 9QJ, UK; Dr K.T. Gillen, Sandia National Laboratories, Materials Aging and Reliability Department, Box 5800, Mail Stop 1407, Albuquerque, NM 87185-1407, USA or Professor Y. Doi, Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, (RIKEN), 2-1, Hirosawa, Wako-shi, Saitama 351-01, Japan.

Papers essentially of an advertising nature will not be accepted. All submissions will be independently refereed.

Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher.

Types of Contributions

Original research papers; review articles; technical notes; short reports; news and announcements; book reviews; letters to the editors.

Manuscript Preparation

General: Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced with wide margins on one side of white paper. Good quality printouts with a font size of 12 or 10 pt are required. The title of the paper should unambiguously reflect its content. Where the title exceeds 70 characters, a suggestion for an abbreviated running title should be given. The corresponding author should be identified (include a Fax number and E-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. The use of proprietary names should be avoided. Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible. An electronic copy of the paper should accompany the final version. The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use.

Paper Length: Generally, the size of the manuscript should be a minimum consistent with clarity.

Abstracts: Each paper should be provided with an abstract of 100-150 words, reporting concisely on the purpose and results of the paper.

Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Figure Captions and then Tables. Do not import the Figures or Tables into your text. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. All other footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers.

Units: The SI system should be used for all scientific and laboratory data; if, in certain instances, it is necessary to quote other units, these should be added in parentheses. Temperatures should be given in degrees Celsius. The unit billion (109 in America, 1012 in Europe) is ambiguous and should not be used.

Abbreviations for units should follow the suggestions of the British Standards publication BS 1991. The full stop should not be included in abbreviations, e.g. m (not m.), ppm (not p.p.m.), and should be used in preference to per cent and per. Where abbreviations are likely to cause ambiguity or may not be readily understood by an international readership, units should be put in full. Current recognised (IUPAC) chemical nomenclature should be used, although commonly accepted trivial names may be used where there is no risk of ambiguity.

References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to references by a number in square brackets on the line (e.g. Since Coskun[1]), and the full reference should be given in a numerical list at the end of the paper.

References should be given in the following form:
1. Coskun M, Demirelli K. Thermal degradation of sulphonylated polystrene. Polym Degrad Stab 1996;51(2):173-178.
2. Andrade JD, editor. Polymer surface dynamics. New York: Plenum Press, 1988.
3. Ratner BD, Yoon SC, Kaul A, Rahman R. In: Planck H, Syre I, Dauner M, Egbers G, editors. Progress in biomedical engineering, Vol. 3: Polyurethanes in biomedical engineering II. Amsterdam: Elsevier, 1987. p. 213.
4. Tai D, Terazawa M, Chen CL, Kirk TK. Proceedings International Symposium Wood Pulping Chemistry 1983;4:144-149.

Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with the figure number and the author's name. All figures are to have a caption. Captions should be supplied on a separate sheet.
Line drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs: Original photographs should be submitted as contrasting black and white prints on glossy paper. If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.

Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs).

Disk submission
Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper on disk, along with the final version of the manuscript. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy exactly. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety.
Full details of disk submission and formats can be obtained from http://authors.elsevier.com or from Author Services at Elsevier Science.

Proofs

Proofs will be sent to the author (first named author if no corresponding author is identified of multi-authored papers) and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any others may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Please note that authors are urged to check their proofs carefully before return, since the inclusion of late corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofs are to be returned to the Log-in Department, Elsevier Science, The Boulevard, Langford Lane, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1GB, UK.
