The journal mostly deals with topics like Composite material, Composite number, Nanocomposite, Ultimate tensile strength and Epoxy. The Composite material study featured in Polymer Composites draws connections with the study of Thermal stability. It focuses on Thermal stability as well as the interrelated topic of Thermogravimetric analysis.
Most of the Thermogravimetric analysis studies addressed also intersect with Differential scanning calorimetry. Nanocomposite research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Nanoparticle, Dynamic mechanical analysis, Carbon nanotube and Montmorillonite. Polymer Composites investigates Dynamic mechanical analysis research which frequently intersects with Glass transition.
The Ultimate tensile strength works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Young's modulus, Flexural strength, Modulus and Polypropylene. The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Epoxy as it also encompasses Curing (chemistry).
The published articles tackle a plethora of topics, such as Composite material, Composite number, Fiber, Ultimate tensile strength and Polymer. The most cited papers aim to address concerns in Composite material, specifically in the areas of Nanocomposite, Epoxy, Glass fiber, Polypropylene and Flexural strength. The journal articles focus on Composite number but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Graphite, Thermoplastic and Scanning electron microscope.
The foci of Polymer Composites are Composite material, Epoxy, Composite number, Nanocomposite and Fiber. Specifically, studies on Carbon nanotube are prevalent in the Composite material works discussed. Epoxy study tackled is connected to the field of Glass fiber.
The in-depth study on Nanocomposite also explores topics in the intersecting field of Dielectric. Most of the works presented in it deals with Graphene but it intersects with the subject of Oxide.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Polymer Composites (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Polymer Composites (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 5.82% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.17% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.55% of all publications and 70.52% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For those interested in Materials Science, exploring related degrees and certifications can expand career opportunities. Many students opt for flexible options like a what is a competency based masters degree, which allows learners to progress at their own pace by demonstrating mastery of skills rather than traditional coursework. This format is especially suitable for working professionals seeking to upgrade their knowledge efficiently.
Creative professionals might consider a specialized path through an mfa degree online, blending materials understanding with artistic design, ideal for careers in product development or innovative materials applications.
For those wanting quick entry or skill enhancement, short certificate programs offer targeted learning with immediate application in industry, often focusing on specific technologies or technical skills relevant to materials science.
In addition, an instructional design degree online equips graduates to develop educational materials and training programs, which can be valuable in corporate R&D departments or academic settings where advanced material concepts need to be communicated effectively.
