設計單體和聚合物（DMP）發表了迅速的同行評審論文，并對大分子設計和應用的所有領域進行了簡短的專題評論。重點是新單體的制備，包括表征和應用。實驗應足夠詳細（包括具體觀察結果、注意事項、新材料的使用、技術及其可能存在的問題），任何希望重復這項工作的研究人員都可以復制這些實驗。該雜志還包括高分子聚合物材料（如高分子生物材料，生物醫學聚合物等）的高分子設計與醫學應用。DMP提供了有機化學和聚合物化學之間的界面，旨在彌合單體合成和新聚合物設計之間的鴻溝。包括但不限于：高分子科學、引發劑、高分子設計用大引發劑聚合動力學、機理和建模方面合成已知單體的新方法新單體（必須顯示聚合的證據，例如縮聚、順序組合、氧化耦合、輻射、等離子聚合）各種結構的功能性預聚物，如超支化聚合物、遙爪聚合物、大單體或樹枝狀聚合物。生物醫學應用的新型高分子材料雖然單體是聚合物的基石，但目前還沒有一個專門的學科涵蓋單體的聚合物雜志，關于單體的文章已經散布在大量的期刊上。設計的單體和聚合物旨在通過提供一個國際論壇，以出版單體研究和高分子設計的藝術和科學來彌補這一平衡。設計的單體和聚合物現在是一個完全開放的訪問期刊。這意味著所有被接受的文章在任何時候都可以供任何人在出版后立即閱讀。按照目前嚴格的流程，所有提交的論文將繼續接受同行評審。提交時不收費。接受論文的作者將在同行評審后支付875英鎊/1135美元/1005歐元的文章出版費。我們已經同意在這個APC上為一些機構的作者提供折扣。有關詳細信息，請參閱我們的開放訪問成員列表。

Designed Monomers and Polymers ( DMP) publishes prompt peer-reviewed papers and short topical reviews on all areas of macromolecular design and applications. Emphasis is placed on the preparations of new monomers, including characterization and applications. Experiments should be presented in sufficient detail (including specific observations, precautionary notes, use of new materials, techniques, and their possible problems) that they could be reproduced by any researcher wishing to repeat the work.The journal also includes macromolecular design of polymeric materials (such as polymeric biomaterials, biomedical polymers, etc.) with medical applications.DMP provides an interface between organic and polymer chemistries and aims to bridge the gap between monomer synthesis and the design of new polymers. Submssions are invited in the areas including, but not limited to:macromolecular science, initiators, macroinitiators for macromolecular designkinetics, mechanism and modelling aspects of polymerizationnew methods of synthesis of known monomersnew monomers (must show evidence for polymerization, e.g. polycondensation, sequential combination, oxidative coupling, radiation, plasma polymerization)functional prepolymers of various architectures such as hyperbranched polymers, telechelic polymers, macromonomers, or dendrimersnew polymeric materials with biomedical applications Even though monomers are the building blocks of polymers, there is no polymer journal that covers monomers as a specialized subject, and articles on monomers have been scattered over a vast number of journals. Designed Monomers and Polymers seeks to redress the balance by providing an international forum for the publication of research into monomers and the art and science of macromolecular design.Designed Monomers and Polymers is now a fully open access journal. This means all accepted articles are available for anyone to read anythere, at any time immediately on publication. All submitted papers continue to be peer reviewed following the current rigorous process.There is no charge on submission. Authors of accepted papers will pay an article publishing charge (APC) of ?875 / $1135/ ?1005 following peer review. We have agreed a discount on this APC for authors in some institutions.
