Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
Structure Your Polymer Chemistry Manuscript
Organize your research article with clear sections that facilitate expert review and reader comprehension:
Title and Abstract: Concise title reflecting polymer type and research focus. Abstract (250 words) summarizing synthesis approach, characterization methods, key findings, and polymer applications.
Introduction: Background on polymer chemistry problem, literature review of relevant synthetic approaches, clear statement of research objectives and novelty.
Experimental Section: Detailed materials specifications (reagent purity, suppliers), synthetic procedures with reaction conditions (temperature, time, atmosphere), purification methods, and characterization techniques (NMR, GPC, DSC, TGA, FTIR).
Results and Discussion: Present characterization data systematically. Discuss polymer structure confirmation, molecular weight distributions, thermal properties, mechanical behavior, and structure-property relationships. Compare results with literature values.
Conclusions: Summarize key findings, significance to polymer chemistry field, and potential applications or future research directions.
Acknowledgments: Funding sources, technical assistance, and instrumental facilities used for polymer characterization.
References: Cite relevant polymer chemistry literature using consistent citation style. Include seminal works and recent advances in your research area.
Chemical Structure and Spectroscopic Data
Provide high-quality chemical structures drawn with ChemDraw or equivalent software. Include complete spectroscopic characterization: 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra with peak assignments, FTIR spectra with characteristic absorption bands, GPC traces showing molecular weight distribution, and thermal analysis curves (DSC, TGA) demonstrating polymer thermal properties. All spectra should be clearly labeled with experimental conditions.
Figures and Tables
Submit figures as separate high-resolution files (TIFF or EPS format, minimum 300 DPI). Include reaction schemes, polymer structures, characterization spectra, and graphical data. Tables should present numerical data (molecular weights, thermal transitions, mechanical properties) in organized format with appropriate units and error margins.
