Polymer Physics

Dear Colleagues,

Polymer physics is a dynamic field at the intersection of statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics, and polymer science. This Topic invites contributions that explore the fundamental and applied aspects of polymer behavior, including conformational fluctuations, mechanical properties, and the kinetics of polymerization and degradation.

We welcome research on theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches to polymer dynamics, structure–property relationships, and phase behavior. Topics of interest include polymer rheology, self-assembly, network formation, viscoelasticity, and emerging trends such as machine learning applications in polymer physics. Studies addressing the impact of thermal fluctuations, non-equilibrium phenomena, and novel polymeric materials are also encouraged.

By bringing together cutting-edge research, this Topic aims to advance our understanding of polymer systems, fostering discussions on new methodologies and interdisciplinary perspectives. We invite physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers to contribute original research, reviews, and perspective articles.

Join us in shaping the future of polymer physics.
