Devoted to the publication of significant fundamental contributions to the physics of macromolecular solids and liquids, both synthetic and natural, this international journal publishes original research in all of the areas generally included in both polymer solid state and liquid physics. This authoritative journal contains papers reporting research in transition mechanisms and structure-property relationships, the physics of polymer solutions and melts, of glassy and rubbery amorphous solids, and the physics of individual polymer molecules.
