Journal Guide

The journal for the most innovative and exciting polymer chemistry, with an emphasis on the synthesis and applications of polymers. Polymer Chemistry welcomes submissions in all areas of polymer science that have a strong focus on macromolecular chemistry. Manuscripts may cover a broad range of fields, yet no direct application focus is required.

Polymer Composites is the engineering and scientific journal serving the fields of reinforced plastics and polymer composites including research, production, processing, and applications. PC brings you the details of developments in this rapidly expanding area of technology long before they are commercial realities.

For more than 30 years, Polymer Engineering & Science has been one of the most highly regarded journals in the field, serving as a forum for authors of treatises on the cutting edge of polymer science and technology. The importance of PE&S is underscored by the frequent rate at which its articles are cited, especially by other publications - literally thousand of times a year. Engineers, researchers, technicians, and academicians worldwide are looking to PE&S for the valuable information they need. There are special issues compiled by distinguished guest editors. These contain proceedings of symposia on such diverse topics as polyblends, mechanics of plastics and polymer welding.

Polymer International publishes on new developments in all branches of macromolecular science and technology. The journal covers original research on biopolymers, polymer chemistry, polymer physics and industrial polymer science.

Polymer Reviews publishes topical issues, consisting of invited high quality reviews on topics of current interest in all areas of macromolecular science and engineering. Areas of particular interest are biomedical applications, organic electronics and photonics, nanostructures, micro- and nano-fabrication, biological molecules (DNA, proteins, carbohydrates), polymers for renewable energy and the environment, and polymers at the interfaces with other disciplines. Articles may either provide a complete, broad review of a topic, or may concentrate on the author's own work, placing that work in the context of the broader field. Please note that Polymer Reviews only publishes invited articles. Unsolicited articles will not be accepted, and will be returned to the author without review. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Polymer Science & Technology aims to disseminate research that advances polymer knowledge and bridges the gap between polymer research and the sustainable solutions our society urgently needs. We are building a community-driven platform that values both the depth of academic rigor and the breadth of interdisciplinary collaboration.

Polymer Science is published since 1959 under the auspices of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The journal (Series A, B, C) presents original papers and reviews covering all fundamental aspects of macromolecular science.Contributions should be of marked novelty and interest for a broad readership. Articles may be written in English or Russian regardless of country and nationality of authors. Articles in Russian are published simultaneously in the Russian version and as a translation in the English version. All manuscripts are peer reviewed.Series C (Selected Topics) includes experimental and theoretical papers and reviews on the selected actual topics of macromolecular science chosen by the Editorial Board. Submission is possible by invitation only.

The Journal publishes virtually useful engineering developments, which are related to the preparation and application of glues, compounds, sealing materials, and binding agents. The Journal publishes both theoretical and applied articles. The papers on the adhesion theory, ways of prediction of the strength of adhesive joints, methods of controlling their properties, synthesis, and methods of structural of calculations of glued joints and constructions are published in the Journal.Journal published mainly papers of the applied character. In addition, the Journal publishes original articles with the new scientific results, analytical reviews of the modern state of the field. Polymer Science, Series D includes papers from Russian journal Klei. Germetiki. Tekhnologii published since 2004.

Polymer Testing provides a forum for developments in the testing of polymers and polymeric products and is hence of interest to those concerned with testing rubbers and plastics in research, in production and in connection with the specification and purchase of products.The journal covers all branches and aspects of testing, including new apparatus, new techniques and standards, together with their application to quality assurance and product development. The accent is on testing so that statistical experiment design and the relevance of methods in generating design data are covered; papers which report measured data of value to designers and technologists are also welcome.The scope of the journal extends to all rubbers and plastics, including cellular materials, composites and polymeric based adhesives. All types of test, physical and chemical, are included from those on the basic polymer to the testing of products. There is equal concern with tests used in research and tests used every day in the factory.Despite the range of materials, products and type of test, there is a common bond between workers involved in, or concerned with, the testing of rubbers and plastics. Polymer Testing provides a forum for publication of their work and discussion of matters of mutual interest which are not given full attention in other polymer technology journals.

Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360) is an international, open access journal of polymer science. It publishes research papers, short communications and review papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Polymers provides an interdisciplinary forum for publishing papers which advance the fields of (i) polymerization methods, (ii) theory, simulation, and modeling, (iii) understanding of new physical phenomena, (iv) advances in characterization techniques, and (v) harnessing of self-assembly and biological strategies for producing complex multifunctional structures.

To publish articles and advances on science, technology and marketing in the polymer area.

Chemical research focused on precision enables more controllable, predictable, and accurate outcomes, which in turn drive innovation in measurement science, sustainable materials, information materials, personalized medicines, energy, environmental science, and countless other fields requiring chemical insights.

Precision Chemistry is an open access journal that provides a unique and highly focused publishing venue for fundamental, applied, and interdisciplinary research aiming to achieve precision calculation, design, synthesis, manipulation, measurement, and manufacturing.
