The International Journal for the Science and Technology of Polymers

Polymer is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing innovative and significant advances in Polymer Physics, Chemistry and Technology. We welcome submissions on polymer hybrids, nanocomposites, characterisation and self-assembly. Polymer also publishes work on the technological application of polymers in energy and optoelectronics.

The main scope is covered but not limited to the following core areas:

Polymer Materials

    Nanocomposites and hybrid nanomaterials
    Polymer blends, films, fibres, networks and porous materials

Physical Characterization

    Characterisation, modelling and simulation* of molecular and materials properties in bulk, solution, and thin films

Polymer Engineering

    Advanced multiscale processing methods

Polymer Synthesis, Modification and Self-assembly

    Including designer polymer architectures, mechanisms and kinetics, and supramolecular polymerization

Technological Applications

    Polymers for energy generation and storage
    Polymer membranes for separation technology
    Polymers for opto- and microelectronics

*Theory and simulation papers should include or reference previously published experimental results.
