Designed Monomers and Polymers is a fully open access journal publishing original research on all areas of macromolecular design and applications.

Designed Monomers and Polymers aims to bridge the gap between monomer synthesis and the design of new polymers, providing an international forum for monomers research and the art and science of macromolecular design.

Emphasis is placed on the preparations of new monomers, including characterization and applications. The journal also includes macromolecular design of polymeric materials (such as polymeric biomaterials, biomedical polymers, etc.) with medical applications.

Submissions are invited in the areas including, but not limited to:

    Macromolecular science, initiators, macroinitiators for macromolecular design
    Kinetics and mechanism aspects of polymerization
    New methods of synthesis of known monomers
    New monomers (must show evidence for polymerization, e.g. polycondensation, sequential combination, oxidative coupling, radiation, plasma polymerization)
    Functional prepolymers of various architectures such as hyperbranched polymers, telechelic polymers, macromonomers, or dendrimers
    New polymeric materials with biomedical applications

The journal accepts original research articles and short topical reviews. Designed Monomers and Polymers operates a single anonymized peer review policy.
