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. Manuscripts with a strong application focus might be more suitable for RSC Applied Polymers .
