Aims & Scope✦ Compiled from public sources

European Polymer Journal is dedicated to publishing work on fundamental and applied polymer chemistry and macromolecular materials. Its scope includes polymers at interfaces and surfaces, such as chemistry and engineering of surfaces with biological relevance, patterning, antifouling polymers, and polymers for membrane applications. The journal also covers biomedical applications and nanomedicine, including polymers for regenerative medicine, drug delivery, molecular release, and gene therapy. Polymer synthesis and functionalization, novel synthetic routes, functional modification, controlled/living polymerization, and precision polymers are also within its scope.
