The Next Generation in Polymer Research

Dear Colleagues,

In the year 2020, we celebrate 100 years of Polymer research. This is the right time to review past achievements of polymer science as well as to look far into the future towards what is to come next. At the turn of the first polymer science century, we learn about how the future directions may be and from the creative outlook on what is next, we will be able to highlight the next generation of topics and people in polymer research. This is exactly the aim of this Topical Collection. We invite reviews of past achievements in polymer science and encourage emerging leaders and talents in the field to share their view on what is next in polymer science. Join us for this exciting endeavor and submit your contribution before 30 June 2020.
