EUROPEAN POLYMER JOURNAL

EUR POLYM J

ISSN / eISSN
0014-3057
Aims and Scope
European Polymer Journal is dedicated to publishing work on fundamental and applied polymer chemistry and macromolecular materials. The journal covers all aspects of polymer synthesis, including polymerization mechanisms and chemical functional transformations, with a focus on novel polymers and the relationships between molecular structure and polymer properties. In addition, we welcome submissions on bio-based or renewable polymers, stimuli-responsive systems and polymer bio-hybrids. European Polymer Journal also publishes research on the biomedical application of polymers, including drug delivery and regenerative medicine. The main scope is covered but not limited to the following core research areas:

Polymer synthesis and functionalization
• Novel synthetic routes for polymerization, functional modification, controlled/living polymerization and precision polymers.
Stimuli-responsive polymers
• Including shape memory and self-healing polymers.
Supramolecular polymers and self-assembly
• Molecular recognition and higher order polymer structures.
Renewable and sustainable polymers
• Bio-based, biodegradable and anti-microbial polymers and polymeric bio-nanocomposites.
Polymers at interfaces and surfaces
• Chemistry and engineering of surfaces with biological relevance, including patterning, antifouling polymers and polymers for membrane applications.
Biomedical applications and nanomedicine
• Polymers for regenerative medicine, drug delivery molecular release and gene therapy

The scope of European Polymer Journal no longer includes Polymer Physics.

Accepted after 3 months of submission. It was my first submission, and I initially wanted to submit to a fast journal to graduate quickly. However, the journal did not specify its speed but it was relatively fast. The journal has high quality and responsible editors. It is considered a good journal, and I hope its impact factor will increase.

In conclusion, it took 3 months for the entire process. I hope everyone can consider it carefully and plan their time reasonably. Try not to delay like I did. Good luck to everyone. The journal is great, and I hope it continues to improve, but remember to manage your time effectively!

Posted on August 9th, 2022, the number was issued on the 10th, and until now (the 17th), it is still with the editor. I sent two emails with a link to click in the meantime, may I ask if it needs to be clicked? I don't think it's necessary, and I don't understand why I sent two emails. Also, why is it taking so long now, is it because of the holidays?
