Aims and Scope
ACS Applied Polymer Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of engineering, chemistry, physics, and biologyrelevant to applications of polymers.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates fundamental knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, polymer science and chemistry into important polymer applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses relationships among structure, processing, morphology, chemistry, properties, and function as well as work that provide insights into mechanisms critical to the performance of the polymer for applications. Sample research topics that span the journal's scope are polymer applications in energy storage and conversion, separations, membranes, adhesives, functional coatings, sensing, adaptive and reconfigurable materials, electronics, photonics, biomaterials, and nanocomposites. The journal also considers novel approaches to the synthesis of new and existing polymers that are designed for specific applications.

Experienced rejection and resubmission, major revision, and minor revision before finally being accepted. Each review process took one month, and luck wasn't on my side.
2.5 Minor revision.
2.8 Accepted directly.
I conducted research on biomass-derived polymers and transferred from ACS SCE to ACS Applied Polymer Materials. The editor reviewed the previous reviewer comments and revised manuscript, and accepted it directly. The process took one week, which was quite fast. The quality of articles in this journal is still good, and I hope it continues to improve.
