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.

I often read everyone's comments, and this time I also want to share. The speed of the journal's processing is very fast, as shown below: Submitted on May 18, 2021, sent for review two days later, received an email on June 13, the two reviewers didn't give much trouble, made revisions for over a month, asked for revisions on July 31, accepted on August 1, online publication on August 3. There will probably be further operations such as signing agreements and proofreading. Looking forward to being published soon! Wishing the journal continued success!

Rejected after 4 days of submission, a total of 16 comments were provided, among which the first 3 suggested that I include some relevant literature from the journal. The later comments seemed to be nitpicking, with the number of rejection comments appearing to be even more than major revisions. Finally, some of the comments were accepted and the submission was received by Polymer Composites.
