We are currently inviting Special Issue proposals for the Section "Polymer Analysis and Characterization". If you are an active researcher in a relevant field and are passionate about cutting-edge research, please do not hesitate to contact the Section Managing Editor Ms. Venassa Gong ([email protected]). 

The Section “Polymer Analysis and Characterization” of Polymers (ISSN: 2073-4360) aims to rapidly publish contributions on all aspects of polymer characterization. In fact, it is very important to characterize polymer-based systems (such as polymers, copolymers, and micro- and nanopolymer composites, to name a few) in order to establish strong structure–property relationships. These characterizations can potentially lead both to a deep knowledge of the materials’ performances and to the possibility of choosing the best-performing systems for specific applications. We encourage the submission of manuscripts that provide novel competently researched articles and reviews that report on significant advances in the field. 

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Characterization and analysis of polymers, polymeric materials, and polymer additives;
• Characterization of polymerization mechanisms;
• Characterization of polymer systems through advanced spectroscopy methods;
• Structure–property relationships in polymers and polymer composites;
• Surface properties of polymer systems;
• Measurement of molecular mass, size, conformation in polymer systems;
• Morphological characterization of polymers and polymer micro- and nanocomposites;
• Mechanical behavior of polymers and polymer micro- and nanocomposites;
• Rheological behavior of polymers and polymer micro- and nanocomposites;
• Thermal behavior of polymers and polymer micro- and nanocomposites;
• Flame retardancy of polymers and polymer micro- and nanocomposites;
• Structure–property–processing relationships in polymers and polymer micro- and nanocomposites;
• Biodegradability of polymers and polymer micro- and nanocomposites.

We look forward to receiving your proposals.
