Polymer Physics
A section of Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360).
Section Information
This section "Polymer Physics" of Polymers aims to rapidly publish high-quality contributions that report on novel research findings regarding experimental studies of well-characterized polymeric systems in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium, including complex and composite materials containing macromolecules. The focus is not only on the features of the systems, but includes developments in instrumentation, measuring devices, preparation, and structure–property relationships. While purely experimental studies should help to uncover or further explore novel phenomena and systems of potential relevance for applications, investigations that aim at verifying theoretical predictions are highly welcome as well. Both types of contributions should ideally confront their outcomes with existing simulation data or theories.
