Colloid and Polymer Science - a leading international journal of longstanding tradition - is devoted to colloid and polymer science and its interdisciplinary interactions. As such, it responds to a demand which has lost none of its actuality as revealed in the trends of contemporary materials science. To enable an effective and fast dissemination of scientific manuscripts, four categories of contributions are presented:
- Invited review articles
- Perspectives
- Original contributions
- Short communications
The latter will be published with high priority, at least within two weeks after acceptance of the manuscript. (The usual time between acceptance and publishing OnlineFirst is typically three weeks.) With this immediacy, Colloid and Polymer Science serves as a reliable partner for an effective distribution of scientific results.
Purely application-oriented manuscripts as well as routine work are not accepted.
- A modern leading international journal with a longstanding tradition since 1906
- Publishes outstanding research results from all areas of colloid and polymer science and interdisciplinary interactions
- Provides invited reviews, original contributions, short communications, and perspectives articles
- 61% of authors who answered a survey reported that they would definitely publish or probably publish in the journal again
- NEW: No submission fee for full-color illustrations of accepted articles

COVID-19 and impact on peer review
As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
