An essential resource for basic or applied polymer research, including work with natural, synthetic, graft, functional, and specialty polymers, and copolymers, this well-established journal delivers articles on polymerization kinetics, polymer synthesis, degradation and stabilization, micro- and macrostructure, molecular weight distribution, pre-ceramics, composites, advanced materials, and more. With basic and applied research papers, concise review articles, and special topic issues, the journal caters to wide-ranging interests in polymer chemistry.

Section on Organic Photovoltaics

Aims
The purpose of this section of the Journal is to provide a space where the chemistry and physical properties of polymeric materials used in organic photovoltaics is the primary focus of its publications. Currently these subjects can be found in a myriad of journals, and many of these papers treat subjects such as monomer and polymer synthesis, molecular weight and physical property optimization as secondary issues. Our objective is to bring many of these papers into a centralized location with emphasis on these subjects.

Scope
Synthesis and purification of monomers
Synthesis and isolation of polymers
Solubility parameters
Chemical characterization
Solution properties
Physical, optical and electro-optic properties
Properties of blends and mixtures of PV active components
Morphology, surface and interfacial properties of films
Characterization of PV cells
