Journal of Elastomers and Plastics (JEP)

The Journal of Elastomers and Plastics is an established, peer‑reviewed academic journal published by SAGE Publications that has been disseminating high‑quality research in the field of polymer science since 1969. It provides an international forum for scientists, engineers, and industry professionals to publish original research and comprehensive reviews on elastomeric and plastic materials—two cornerstone classes of modern polymers with broad industrial relevance. The journal’s multidisciplinary scope includes the design, synthesis, processing, and characterization of elastomers and plastics, as well as their mechanical behavior, performance in composite systems, and applications across sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and biomedical engineering. Contributions often address fundamental scientific questions alongside applied research, including innovative material formulations, reinforcement strategies, the role of fillers and additives, and sustainability‑oriented developments like bio‑based elastomers and eco‑friendly polymers. In addition to research papers, the journal frequently includes patent digests and industry insights, supporting its role as a bridge between academic science and industrial practice. With a rigorous peer‑review process and a long publishing history, Journal of Elastomers and Plastics remains a key resource for advancing polymer technologies and informing both academic inquiry and practical engineering solutions in elastomer and plastic materials science.
