Most-cited papers in Polymers and Polymer Composites

Fatigue Properties of Highly Oriented Polypropylene Tapes and All-Polypropylene Composites

N.‐M. Barkoula, Ben Alcock, N.O. Cabrera et al. · 1 Feb 2008

This paper describes the fatigue behaviour of newly developed all-polypropylene (all-PP) tapes and composites, with reference to the composite processing conditions, testing temperature and making a comparison with commercial alternatives. All-PP tapes are highly oriented and their failure behaviour follows that of other highly oriented polymers. All-PP woven composites fail ultimately due to PP tape…

Effects of Expandable Graphite and Modified Ammonium Polyphosphate on the Flame-Retardant and Mechanical Properties of Wood Flour-Polypropylene Composites

Chuigen Guo, Lin Zhou, Jianxiong Lv · 1 Sep 2013

In this work, the effect of both the expandable graphite (EG) and ammonium polyphosphate modified with 3-(methylacryloxyl) propyltrimethoxy silane (M-APP) on the flame retardancy and mechanical properties of the wood-polypropylene composites (WPC) were studied. Cone calorimetry results indicated that both EG and M-APP could effectively improve the flame retardancy of WPC, while the retardancy of…

Curing Methods for Advanced Polymer Composites - A Review

Dilmurat Abliz, Yugang Duan, Leif Steuernagel et al. · 1 Jul 2013

Advanced polymer composites have obtained great application interest in a number of demanding aerospace, wind energy, automotive, infrastructure, and consumer applications. Great varieties of curing methods are investigated to develop low-cost and high-efficient fabrication of advanced polymer composites, which still remains as a great challenge and thorny issue. Especially, the autoclave curing process, which is…

Polymers and Polymer Composites template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Polymers and Polymer Composites format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Polymers and Polymer Composites template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official SAGE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Polymers and Polymer Composites use?
Polymers and Polymer Composites uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Polymers and Polymer Composites, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Polymers and Polymer Composites?
No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready Polymers and Polymer Composites document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Polymers and Polymer Composites template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Polymers and Polymer Composites format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Polymers and Polymer Composites?
Polymers and Polymer Composites is a multidisciplinary journal published by SAGE. DocuGuru's Polymers and Polymer Composites template matches SAGE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Polymers and Polymer Composites PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Polymers and Polymer Composites template (the sagej class) that is ready to submit to SAGE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Polymers and Polymer Composites template cost?
You can start writing in the Polymers and Polymer Composites template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Polymers and Polymer Composites PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
