REACTIVE & FUNCTIONAL POLYMERS

该杂志发表了一些论文，涉及具有特殊化学反应性或物理化学行为的官能团的聚合物的科学和技术的新思想和发展。范围包括有机和无机功能聚合物，作为试剂、催化剂、保护基团的载体、模板、离子交换剂、选择性吸附剂、螯合剂、酶和细胞的载体等。它还包括反应性交联预聚体、可降解或生物活性聚合物、聚合物阻垢剂、导电聚合物和成膜聚合物。贡献必须提供完整的分子和材料表征数据，并可能涉及上述聚合物的合成或其在有机合成、催化、水或废水处理、分离、回收、光刻、微电子学、信息存储、能量转换、诊断、药物递送、涂层和封装以及粘附方面的应用。该杂志面向两大主要读者:一是从事新材料合成和新技术开发的读者，另一是与实验室或工厂的技术和实际应用有关的读者。该杂志鼓励并作为这两个团体之间对话的论坛。鼓励发表范围广泛的论文。重点是在科学或技术的前沿工作和促进研究人员和实际工程师之间的互动，而不是在理论或应用的细节。完整的论文和评论文章将被考虑。然而，想要写评论的作者应该先联系编辑。未经邀请的评论将不予考虑。所有提交的材料必须是原件，也就是说，它可能没有被提交到其他地方出版。缺乏原创性、分子特征不充分、与现有文献和作者本人作品的比较不佳，这些都是造成排斥的充分原因。

The Journal publishes papers dealing with new ideas and developments in the science and technology of polymers with functional groups that provide specific chemical reactivity or physico-chemical behaviour. The scope covers organic and inorganic functional polymers, acting as reagents, catalysts, carriers of protecting groups, templates, ion-exchangers, selective sorbents, chelating agents, supports for enzymes and cells, and the like. It also includes reactive cross-linkable prepolymers, degradable or bioactive polymers, polymer resists, conducting polymers, and film-forming polymers.Contributions have to present thorough molecular and material characterisation data, and may deal with the synthesis of the above polymers or with their applications in organic synthesis, catalysis, water or effluent treatment, separations, recovery, lithography, microelectronics, information storage, energy conversion, diagnostics, drug delivery, coating and encapsulation, and adhesion.The Journal addresses two main audiences: those engaged in the synthesis of new materials and the development of novel techniques, and those concerned with technology and practical applications in the laboratory or plant. The Journal encourages, and serves as a forum for, the dialogue between these two groups.Papers on a broad spectrum of topics are encouraged. Emphasis is on work at the frontiers of science or technology and furthering the interaction between researcher and practical engineer, rather than on details of theory or application. Full-length papers and review articles will be considered. However, authors intending to write a review should contact an Editor first. Uninvited reviews will not be considered. All material submitted must be original, that is it may not have been submitted elsewhere for publication.Lack of originality, insufficient molecular characterisation, poor comparison with the current state of literature and with the authors' own production are, individually, sufficient reasons for rejection.
