該雜志旨在彌合聚合物在廣泛應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域的研究與開發(fā)與實際和商業(yè)應(yīng)用之間的差距。綜述了聚合物工業(yè)關(guān)鍵領(lǐng)域的當(dāng)前發(fā)展和可能的未來趨勢，以及塑料和橡膠產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)新使用的現(xiàn)有和潛在機(jī)會。行業(yè)面臨的挑戰(zhàn)，如環(huán)境和立法壓力、更嚴(yán)格的質(zhì)量要求和回收利用的需要，也包括在內(nèi)。該雜志的重點是：最終用途部門和應(yīng)用添加劑及其對環(huán)境的影響特定材料的性能和性能新興材料和工藝現(xiàn)狀綜述

The journal aims to bridge the gap between research and development and the practical and commercial applications of polymers in a wide range of uses. Current developments and likely future trends are reviewed across key areas of the polymer industry, together with existing and potential opportunities for the innovative use of plastic and rubber products.The challenges facing the industry, such as environmental and legislative pressures, stricter quality requirements and the need for recycling, are also included. The journal focuses on:The end-use sector & applicationsAdditives and their effects on the environmentProperties and performance of specific materialsOverviews of the current position of emerging materials and processes
