About this journal

Aims and scope

Advanced Manufacturing: Polymer & Composites Science ( AMPCS) publishes refereed research articles addressing advanced and automated manufacturing challenges in structural polymer-based composites and multifunctional materials. The journal welcomes original articles covering recent research advances in materials, technologies and processes for improved design and manufacturing in the aerospace, automotive, energy, electronics, defence and healthcare sectors. Development of methods for integration of advanced materials into systems falls within this scope, including cost reduction and/or economic impacts in innovative manufacturing and assembly processes.

The journal also welcomes manuscripts that describe the development of tools or models to quantify environmental aspects of manufacturing.

AMPCS will mainly consider manuscripts that deal with advanced composite materials and their properties if a strong novel manufacturing development is included.

As an Open Access journal, all papers published in the journal are made free to access online as soon as they are published, meaning anyone can read and cite the paper, and authors are able to retain copyright of their work.

Depending on your location APC charges may be subject to local taxes.
