The series Advances in Polymer Science presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in polymer and biopolymer science. It covers all areas of research in polymer and biopolymer science including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, material science. The thematic volumes are addressed to scientists, whether at universities or in industry, who wish to keep abreast of the important advances in the covered topics. Advances in Polymer Science enjoys a longstanding tradition and good reputation in its community. Each volume is dedicated to a current topic, and each review critically surveys one aspect of that topic, to place it within the context of the volume. The volumes typically summarize the significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years and discuss them critically, presenting selected examples, explaining and illustrating the important principles, and bringing together many important references of primary literature. On that basis, future research directions in the area can be discussed. Advances in Polymer Science volumes thus are important references for every polymer scientist, as well as for other scientists interested in polymer science - as an introduction to a neighboring field, or as a compilation of detailed information for the specialist. Review articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume editors. Single contributions can be specially commissioned. Readership: Polymer scientists, or scientists in related fields interested in polymer and biopolymer science, at universities or in industry, graduate students.

Advances in Polymer Technology , a quarterly peer-reviewed journal edited under the auspices of the Polymer Processing Institute, presents important developments in polymeric materials, production and processing methods, and equipment and product design.

Examples are technologies for reactive processing, multiphase polymer systems, simulation of processing and product design, recycling and degradation, on-line rheological, morphological, and compositional measurements, and specialty polymers for specific applications. Submissions should be directed to the Editor, Dr. Theodore Davidson, Polymer Processing Institute, Suite 3901, Guttenberg Building, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ 07102-1982, or to the Editor - Europe, Dr. Leno Mascia, Loughborough University, Institute of Polymer Technology and Materials Engineering, Loughborough, Leics, LE11 3TU, UK.

Carbohydrate Polymers covers the study and exploitation of polymers of monosaccharides which have current or potential application in areas such as bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, nanotechnology, biorefining, drug delivery, food, chemistry, packaging , paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles and wood.The role of the well-characterized carbohydrate polymer must be the major proportion of the work reported, not peripheral. At least one named carbohydrate polymer must be cited and be the main focus of the title of the paper, and of the paper itself. Research must be innovative and advance scientific knowledge. Where a polysaccharide is obtained from a supplier, essential structural information which will affect its behavior in the subsequent work should be given. For example, molecular size/viscosity information, mannuronate/glucoronate ration for alginates, degree of esterification for pectin, degree of deacetylation for chitosan. Editors are unlikely to send papers for formal review with a statement such as "sodium alginate was purchased from XXX Inc." unless additional information is supplied. To be acceptable, the paper must include some characterization of the polysaccharide (if not already known) in addition to the application studied. Purity and monosaccharide composition are essential; some molecular size and linkage information is highly desirable.Topics include:• structure and property relationships• analytical methods• chemical, enzymatic and physical modifications• biosynthesis• natural functions• interactions with other materialsExamples of papers which are not appropriate for Carbohydrate Polymers include:• papers which focus on biological, physiological and pharmacological aspects of non-carbohydrate molecules attached to, or mixed with, carbohydrate polymers.• papers on the materials science of biocomposites where there is no mention of any specific carbohydrate polymer, or the role of the carbohydrate polymer is not the major proportion of the study.• papers focusing on polyalkanoates, polylactic acid or lignin.• routine studies of extraction yields without characterisation of the extracted polysaccharide.• routine studies of complexation of a drug with a single cyclodextrin.• applications of new polysaccharides where the structure of the polysaccharide is unknown.• Papers on the production and isolation of enzymes which act on polysaccharides (studies on the mode of action of an enzyme on a polysaccharide are within the journal scope).• Papers where the degree of polymerization of the saccharide chain is less than four.
