Journal Guide

Fibres & Textiles in Eastern Europe is a scientific journal, published in English with Polish abstracts, devoted to scientific research & development of the manufacturing and processing of fibre-grade polymers, including biopolymers, fibres, fibrous products, and textile technologies. Some of the problems discussed in the journal are trends in fibre development, theory and practice of new technologies and techniques for manufacturing and modifying polymers, fibres and textiles, among others, by means of waste free, biotechnological processes and the manufacturing of special fibres and fibrous products, especially from modified natural and synthetic polymers such as cellulose derivatives, lignins, chitin and chitosan. Special attention is paid to works presenting problems related to bioactivity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, textile waste utilisation and waste-water.

Functional composites and structures are essential to the creation of next-generation technologies and cultures in the fourth industrial revolution. Advances in this area will promote human welfare by overcoming global energy and environmental crises and climate change. In addition, new knowledge in this field will facilitate innovative advancements in living necessities, mobile devices, sporting goods, transportation (land, marine, and aerospace), energy and environmental applications, and will aid in the creation of a variety of new competitive industries.

Green Chemistry provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. Based on the, but not limited to, the twelve principles of green chemistry defined by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998). Green chemistry is, by definition, a continuously-evolving frontier. Therefore, the inclusion of a particular material or technology does not, of itself, guarantee that a paper is suitable for the journal. To be suitable, the novel advance should have the potential for reduced environmental impact relative to the state of the art. Green Chemistry does not normally deal with research associated with 'end-of-pipe' or remediation issues.

High Temperatures - High Pressures publishes original research papers related to thermophysical properties of matter, including thermal and transport properties. Papers dealing with the gaseous, liquid or solid phase are equally welcome. Special emphasis is put on matter under extreme conditions such as high temperatures and high pressures, on properties of micro- or nano-structured materials, and on non-linear properties related to high rates of energy transport. Both theoretical and experimental work will be considered for publication. Reports on measurements of thermophysical property data as well as on the use of these data for applications form an integral part of the journal’s scope. Papers on novel experimental techniques and critical compilations and analyses of existing data may also be submitted.

Started in 1976, this journal publishes papers on both fundamental and applied research in various branches of textile technology and allied areas such as Production and properties of natural and synthetic fibres (including industrial fibres), yarns and fabrics; Physics and chemistry of fibre forming polymers; Chemical and finishing processes; Fibre-reinforced composites; Garment technology; Analysis, testing and quality control; Application of microprocessors; Instrumentation; application of nanotechnology in textiles; and Industrial engineering.

Industrial Chemistry & Materials (ICM) publishes significant innovative research and major technological breakthroughs in all aspects of industrial chemistry and materials.

IJCST is a specialized journal for all aspects of research regarding clothing science, aimed at all those involved with clothing; whether in fabric, design, production, machinery, management or retailing.

The Journal of Cultural Heritage is devoted to:- Safeguard, Conservation and exploitation of cultural heritage- Analyses and preservation of biodiversity- Sociological and economical analyses- Computer sciences in Cultural heritageThe journal focuses on a specific new methodology in cultural heritage conservation or exploitation. It also presents the latest news concerning public administration bodies and the many activities proposed by international authorities.Occasionally, thematic issues are published as electronic supplements, available on ScienceDirect.

Industrial textiles, including coated and laminated fabrics, are increasingly used in many consumer, industrial, architectural, medical and military applications. The Journal of Industrial Textiles is the only journal devoted exclusively to this technology and its applications.Each quarterly issue publishes research-based articles by specialists on new developments in industrial textile materials (fibres, fabrics, coatings), their properties and performance, processing (including coating, laminating, and finishing), applications, and markets.Reports also cover:· new developments in safety and environmental concerns· flammability and fire retardance· standards and regulations· test methods and results.Each issue also includes a Patents review section.Article authors are industrial textiles specialists from around the world, affiliated with university textile technology faculties, textile research organizations, and companies active in this field. .
