We celebrated Polymer Chemistry’s official launch event last month, at Macro2010 in Glasgow, UK. During a poster session sponsored by Polymer Chemistry, Editor-in-Chief, Professor David Haddleton, gave a speech introducing the journal.
Wine and cake were then available for the delegates to enjoy.
We would like to thank our authors, referees and readers for making the first few issues so fantastic, and we look forward to continuing the success in the future!
We are delighted to announce a high-profile themed issue on Polymer Bioconjugates to be published in 2011. The guest editors of the issue will be Professor Jan van Hest (Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands) and Professor Brent Sumerlin (Southern Methodist University, USA) and it is our pleasure to invite you to submit to this themed issue.
Polymer Chemistry is a new peer-reviewed journal encompassing all aspects of synthetic and biological macromolecules, and related emerging areas. The journal will publish themed issues on important emerging topics and it now seems particularly timely to publish a focused set of articles covering Polymer Bioconjugates. The key aim is to highlight the most important areas and directions in this field within a high quality and high impact issue.
The deadline for the receipt of manuscripts for this themed issue is 5th January 2011.
Submissions, either communications or full papers, should be high-quality manuscripts of original, unpublished research, containing important new insight. All submissions will be subject to rigorous peer review to meet the usual high standards of Polymer Chemistry.
Manuscripts can be submitted using our online submission service. Please indicate on you submission letter that your manuscript is submitted in response to the call for papers for the Polymer Bioconjugates themed issue.
We are pleased to announce Dr Liz Davies as the new Managing Editor of Polymer Chemistry. Liz is also the Editor of Soft Matter and the Deputy Editor of Journal of Materials Chemistry.
Liz completed an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Biological Chemistry at the University of Nottingham where she remained to carry out a PhD in organic synthesis. Since then, she has worked for the RSC as an Assistant Editor for Dalton Transactions, CrystEngComm and Chemical Society Reviews, and as a Deputy Editor for Journal of Materials Chemistry, Soft Matter and Polymer Chemistry. Polymer Chemistry is a new peer-reviewed journal encompassing all aspects of synthetic and biological macromolecules, and related emerging areas. Professor David Haddleton, University of Warwick, is Editor-in Chief. As Editor, Liz is looking forward to working with the polymer chemistry community to maintain the high scientific quality and impact displayed in the articles published to date.
