✦ Synopsis

The birth of the journal Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics (former title: Die Makromolekulare Chemie) in 1943 is closely related to the birth of polymer science and the achievements of the famous pioneer Hermann Staudinger, who was awarded the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1953. Macromolecular science emerged as a new field characterized by intense interdisciplinary research involving chemistry, physics, materials science, life sciences and engineering. This interdisciplinary exchange has involved polymer research groups located all over the world and still contributes to the international character of all the Macromolecular Journals. In 1980, Die Makromolekulare Chemie, Rapid Communications (since 1994 Macromolecular Rapid Communications) was launched as an offspring of the journal Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics. The idea was to provide a platform for articles of high priority to be published as quickly as possible. Today Macromolecular Rapid Communications publishes a unique combination of Communications, Feature Articles and Reviews on all
