High Performance Polymers

Aims & Scope

In a field of rapid innovation, the Journal of High Performance Polymers is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes the highest quality original research in high performance polymer science and technology.

With a principal focus on molecular structure/processability/property relationships of high performance polymers such as liquid crystalline polymers, aromatic polymers, aramids, hetercyclic polymers, epoxy resin, fluoropolymers, siloxanes, functionalized polymers and inorganic polymers.

It accepts articles in high performance polymer science and technology, with a principal focus on molecular structure/processability/property relationships of high performance polymers such as liquid crystalline polymers, aromatic polymers, aramids, hetercyclic polymers, epoxy resin, fluoropolymers, siloxanes, functionalized polymers and inorganic polymers.

The scope covers all aspects of the physics, chemistry and material properties of high performance polymers, extending from molecular modelling through to the characterization and evaluation of polymers for specific applications.

Applications of particular interest include composite matrices, coatings, adhesives, fibres, films, membranes and active polymers for potential use in sectors such as aerospace, chemicals, energy electronics and transportation.

Papers will be welcomed from polymer scientists, chemists, chemical engineers, molecular modellers and designers, materials scientists and processing technologists and physicists.
