聚合物科學的一系列進展對聚合物和生物聚合物科學的當前和未來趨勢提出了評論。它涵蓋了聚合物和生物聚合物科學的所有研究領域，包括化學、物理化學、物理和材料科學。這些專題卷面向的是科學家，無論是在大學還是在工業領域，他們希望了解所涉及主題的重要進展。高分子科學的發展有著悠久的傳統和良好的社會聲譽。每一卷都專門針對當前的主題，每一篇評論都會批判性地調查該主題的一個方面，以將其放在該卷的上下文中。這些卷通常總結了過去5至10年的重大發展，并對其進行了批判性討論，列舉了一些精選的例子，解釋和說明了重要的原則，并匯集了許多重要的初級文獻參考。在此基礎上，可以探討該領域未來的研究方向。因此，聚合物科學卷的進展對于每一位聚合物科學家，以及對聚合物科學感興趣的其他科學家來說都是重要的參考資料——作為對鄰近領域的介紹，或作為專家詳細信息的匯編。各卷的評論文章由卷編輯邀請。單筆捐款可以特別委托。讀者群：高分子科學家，或對高分子和生物聚合物科學感興趣的相關領域的科學家，在大學或工業界，研究生。

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, and 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.
