Journal Title：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.

《聚合物降解與穩(wěn)定性》主要研究降解反應(yīng)及其控制，這是現(xiàn)代聚合物技術(shù)眾多不同方面從業(yè)人員的主要關(guān)注點(diǎn)。

在加工過程中，當(dāng)聚合物受到熱、氧氣和機(jī)械應(yīng)力時(shí)，以及在材料的使用壽命期間，當(dāng)氧氣和陽光是最重要的降解劑時(shí)，就會(huì)發(fā)生劣化反應(yīng)。在更專業(yè)的應(yīng)用中，降解可能是由高能輻射、臭氧、大氣污染物、機(jī)械應(yīng)力、生物作用、水解和許多其他影響引起的。如果要繼續(xù)推進(jìn)聚合物技術(shù)和應(yīng)用，就必須了解這些反應(yīng)和穩(wěn)定過程的機(jī)制。因此，報(bào)告此類調(diào)查是本期刊的主要功能。

然而，聚合物技術(shù)也有新的發(fā)展，降解過程在其中找到了積極的應(yīng)用。例如，現(xiàn)在已有光降解塑料，聚合物產(chǎn)品的回收利用將變得越來越重要，降解和燃燒研究涉及定義與聚合物材料相關(guān)的火災(zāi)危險(xiǎn)，而微電子行業(yè)在制造電路時(shí)極其依賴于聚合物降解。聚合物性能也可以通過固化和接枝等工藝得到改善，這些工藝的化學(xué)性質(zhì)可能與其他情況下導(dǎo)致物理損壞的化學(xué)性質(zhì)密切相關(guān)。

Polymer Degradation And Stability創(chuàng)刊于1979年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋化學(xué) - 高分子科學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此刊是該細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中屬于非常不錯(cuò)的SCI期刊，在行業(yè)細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中學(xué)術(shù)影響力較大，專業(yè)度認(rèn)可很高，所以對(duì)原創(chuàng)文章要求創(chuàng)新性較高，如果您的文章質(zhì)量很高，可以嘗試。平均審稿速度 約1.9個(gè)月 約5.8周，影響因子指數(shù)6.3，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
