Polymer Design for Advanced Applications (PDAA) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published quarterly online by Scilight Press. The rationale of the journal is funded on the necessity to change the paradigm in the design of the (bio)polymers. This publishing platform would dream of being a stimulating crossing place for contributors designing new materials based on polymers. The claimed originality consists in highlighting the methodologies and strategies for designing the polymers for target applications based on enhanced properties (functional, mechanical, stability, etc.). The challenge consists in focusing on the bijective relationship between enhanced property and polymer design: this means illustrating both top-down and bottom-up strategies for justifying and explaining the methods of design for reaching target properties and performance.
