Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the development, characterization, and application of polymer-based composites, including those reinforced with natural or synthetic fibers, carbon-based nanomaterials, and mineral fillers. Research covers mechanical properties, thermal stability, tribological performance, flame retardancy, and processing techniques such as fused filament fabrication (FFF) and injection molding. Studies also investigate material recycling and the influence of surface treatments and filler dispersion on composite behavior.
