This journal acts as a medium for the exchange of research in the area of macromolecular substances, both synthetic and natural, and publishes results bearing on the physics or chemistry of polymers. Papers may fall either into the category of original papers dealing with substances of high molecular weight, or that of review articles covering the literature on topical aspects of polymer science. The language of the journal is primarily English, although papers in French, German and Italian are also accepted; for all papers an abstract is provided, and in the case of the latter three languages the abstract also appears in English translation.
