The Journal of Polymer science maintains its strong reputation in the polymer community with newly released Impact Factors of 3.11 for the Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Chemistry and 3.32 for the Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Physics.
The Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Chemistry achieved its highest immediacy index on record in 2015. The immediacy index indicates how quickly articles are cited and is a testament to the urgency and importance of the research the journal is publishing. The 2015 Special Issue in honor of Prof. Jean Fréchet’s 70th birthday featured a stellar lineup of papers from many of his group alumni.
With a focus on the physics of polymer systems, the Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Physics remains at the forefront of modern polymer science research with recent Special Issues such as Shaping Shape-Memory. The journal’s recent continued success was in no small part due to Prof. Ed Kramer, a beloved polymer scientist who we sadly said goodbye to and honored with a Special Issue across both parts of the journal.
STARCH journal has announced an impact factor of 1.52. The journal aims to be the premier point of reference for modern carbohydrate related research and knowledge, having evolved from a focus on traditional processing of starches and their industrial applications. Apart from this, a special focus is currently put on the role of starch AND non-starch carbohydrates in nutrition more generally as well as in health and disease (including pharmaceutical formulations).
Starch blends and their physicochemical properties by J. Waterschoot, S. V. Gomand, E. Fierens et al.
