The International Journal of Polymeric Materials and Polymeric Biomaterials will provide a forum for the publication of peer-reviewed, English language articles (including select reviews) on all aspects of polymeric materials. The journal is interdisciplinary in nature and plans to include extensive contributions in the area of Polymeric Biomaterials & Biomedical Polymers, Applied Polymer Science (New Concepts in Polymeric Materials, Energy Related Polymers, Bio-based/Bio-derived Materials, and Polymers for Environmental Applications) to address the innovation needs on such current areas.
The journal will consider articles on all aspects of Polymeric Biomaterials . Some examples of the topics under Polymeric Biomaterials covered (but not limited to) are medical implants, extracorporeal devices, disposables (that have been utilized in medicine, dentistry, surgery, and veterinary medicine as well as in every aspect of patient health care), polymers for microencapsulation, polymers for drug delivery systems and controlling cell functions, advances in protein drugs and gene delivery (encapsulation and controlled release), biodegradable materials, biopolymers, biomedical polymers, biologically enabled and bio-inspired polymers, polymers for noninvasive delivery & diagnostics, stimuli responsive polymeric materials & composites, soft materials, porous polymers, self-healing/shape-memory materials, bioactive polymers, biosensors, etc.
Bio-based / Bio-derived Materials (including bio-based monomers, polymers and their blends / composites) are an important class of polymeric materials has a wide range of applications in energy (biofuel/bioenergy), medical, packaging, transportation, construction, consumer goods, electronics, etc. The topic related to such polymeric materials will be covered as well.
The topics under Applied Polymer Science covered (but not limited to) are specialty polymers, encapsulation and controlled release, advances in adhesion science, fluorophores & applications, polymer-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles, polymer surfaces and interfaces, fire and polymers, new concepts in polymeric materials, polymers for energy and environmental applications, block copolymers and nanoscale materials, electroactive and photoresponsive polymers, nanotechnology applications in coatings, advanced photovoltaics, polymers for nanopatterning, assembly of polymers and nanoparticles, green polymer chemistry, advances in organometallic polymers, polymers for optical and electronic Materials, degradable polymers, micro & nano-fibers, multi-phase polymer materials, supramolecular polymers, actuator & stimuli responsive polymeric materials & composites, soft materials, porous polymers, electro-active polymers and coatings, thermo- and photochromic materials, superhydrophobic /hydrophilic materials, self-assembling polymers and coatings, polymer sensors, antimicrobial polymers, etc.
Instructions to Authors
 This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.  Aims and Scope.

Please note that International Journal of Polymeric Materials and Polymeric Biomaterials uses CrossCheck™ software to screen papers for unoriginal material. By submitting your paper to International Journal of Polymeric Materials and Polymeric Biomaterials you are agreeing to any necessary originality checks your paper may have to undergo during the peer review and production processes.
Submission of Manuscripts. International Journal of Polymeric Materials receives all manuscript submissions electronically via their ScholarOne Manuscripts website located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/GPOM . ScholarOne Manuscripts allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as facilitating the review process and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a web-based platform. For ScholarOne Manuscripts technical support, you may contact them by e-mail or phone support via http://scholarone.com/services/support/ . If you have any other requests please contact the journal at munmaya@gmail.com. Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as ‘‘derivative reproduction’’ (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source). All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.
All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. Authors are encouraged to supply keywords. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of not more than 150 words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text.
Illustrations. Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines:
-
300 dpi or higher
-
sized to fit on journal page
-
EPS, TIFF, or PSD format only
-
submitted as separate files, not embedded in text files
Color Reproduction. Color art will be reproduced in color in the online publication at no additional cost to the author. Color illustrations will also be considered for print publication; however, the author will be required to bear the full cost involved in color art reproduction. Please note that color reprints can only be ordered if print reproduction costs are paid. Print Rates: $900 for the first page of color; $450 per page for the next three pages of color. A custom quote will be provided for articles with more than four pages of color. Art not supplied at a minimum of 300 dpi will not be considered for print. Please ensure that color figures and images submitted for publication will render clearly in black and white conversion for print.
Tables and Figures. Tables and figures should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or files. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. Captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet. All original figures should be clearly marked in pencil on the reverse side with the number, author’s name, and top edge indicated.
References. Identify references in the text by arabic numerals in brackets, and number consecutively in the Reference Section in order of their first mention. References should include: names of all contributing authors (last names first); title of journal (journal title abbreviations should conform to Chemical Abstracts style) or book; volume number; location and name of publishing company (books only); year of publication. Examples:
Journal: 1. Smith, A. B. and Jones, C. D., J. Appl. Phys. 34, 296 (1965).
Book: 2. Tadokoro, H. (1979). Structures of Crystalline Polymers, (Wiley, New York), pp. 353–374.
Complimentary Policy and Reprints. Authors for whom we receive a valid email address will be provided an opportunity to purchase reprints of individual articles, or copies of the complete print issue. These authors will also be given complimentary access to their final article on Taylor & Francis Online.
Accepted Manuscript Online (AMO). Manuscripts submitted to the Journal are eligible for rapid online posting if a valid copyright form is received and nothing is missing from the paper. The original manuscript will be available on Taylor & Francis Online in a section on the Journal’s page entitled “Forthcoming Articles.” Posted papers will be clearly labeled as the “Accepted, Uncorrected Manuscript” versions and will include DOI numbers so that papers can be cited and referenced. Authors will also receive notification from Taylor & Francis when the manuscript is posted, when the typeset proofs are available, and once again when the final version is posted. Papers in this section will be removed once the edited and final typeset version is posted online.
