Polymers Exceptional Reviewers List 2025
Name: Dr. Xavier Montané
Affiliation: Department of Analytical and Organic Chemistry, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, C/Marcel·lí Domingo 1, 43007 Tarragona, Spain
Interest: liquid crystalline polymers, membranes, polymer capsules, encapsulation; synthesis and characterization of polymeric materials; polyphenols, flavonoids; encapsulation of biological active compounds; fuel cell applications; conducting polymers for hydrogen
“It was an insightful, rewarding, and challenging experience reviewing articles on advanced polymers for biomedical, cosmetic, and sustainable innovations with focus on real-world impact and novel materials.”
Name: Dr. Eugenio Amendola
Affiliation: Institute of Polymers, Composite and Biomaterials (IPCB), National Research Council of Italy, 80055 Portici, Italy
Interest: self-healing composites; polymer; materials science; thermosetting resins; self-healing material; elastomer; ultimate tensile strength
“The experience reviewing for the Polymers journal was challenging and rewarding, balancing the Editors' demand for speed with the ethical duty to ensure a fair, thorough review in limited time.”
Name: Dr. Jingwei Tian
Affiliation: Key Lab of Structures Dynamic Behavior and Control, Harbin Institute of Technology, Ministry of Education, Harbin 150090, China
Interest: frp; polymer composites; fiber surface modification; friction and wear; corrosion, self-healing and self-repair
“As a Polymers editorial reviewer, I systematically evaluate manuscripts through dual lenses of scientific validity and industrial potential. My expertise in polymer composites centers on assessing fiber-matrix interface engineering, particularly surface modification strategies that enhance tribological performance and corrosion resistance. When analyzing wear-resistant systems, I focus on stress distribution patterns and interfacial characterization methodologies to verify structure-property relationships. For emerging self-healing materials, I scrutinize repair mechanisms through three-dimensional validation: chemical design logic, damage-responsive kinetics, and multi-cycle durability evidence. My reviews emphasize experimental reproducibility across different aging conditions while encouraging cross-disciplinary approaches that integrate materials science with mechanical failure analysis. This evaluation philosophy aligns with the journal's commitment to advancing functional polymers that address real-world engineering challenges through rigorous fundamental research.”
Name: Dr inż. Rafał Bielas
Affiliation: Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination, CNRS & Université de Toulouse (UPS, INP), 31077 Toulouse, France
Interest: polymers; polyelectrolytes; poly(ionic liquid)s; ionic liquids; drug delivery; poly(amino acid)s
“The review process for Polymers is very clear and efficient, every step is clear and there's always support available from the editors.”
Name: Lars Järnström
Affiliation: Department of Engineering and Chemical Sciences, Karlstad University, 65188 Karlstad, Sweden
Interest: polymers (focus on biopolymers); rheology; nanocomposites; paper coating; barrier properties; food packaging
“I have been a reviewer for 21 different scientific journals.”
