Reactive & Functional Polymers

Reactive & Functional Polymers (commonly abbreviated as React. Funct. Polym.) is a peer-reviewed journal published by Elsevier, founded in the Netherlands in 1982 and issued monthly. It concentrates on polymer materials carrying chemical reactivity or a specific function, and continued the volume numbering of its predecessor Reactive Polymers under the present name from 1995.《反应性与功能性聚合物》（Reactive & Functional Polymers，常用缩写为 React. Funct. Polym.）是由爱思唯尔出版的同行评审学术期刊，1982 年创刊于荷兰，现为月刊。该刊专注具备化学反应活性或特定功能的高分子材料，前身为《反应性聚合物》，1995 年起改用现名并接续卷号。

Scope

Reactive & Functional Polymers holds that polymers do more than carry structure, asking papers to show from which group or level of structure a function arises rather than reporting a single performance figure. Its principal subject areas include:Reactive & Functional Polymers 的取稿立场是「高分子不只是承载结构」，要求论文说清材料的功能来自哪一类基团或哪一级结构，而非仅报告一项性能数值。收文范围覆盖的主要方向包括：

• Ion exchange and sorbents: synthesis and modification of ion exchange resins, chelating resins with selective sorption, and sorption thermodynamics and kinetics.离子交换与吸附材料： 离子交换树脂的合成与改性、螯合树脂与选择性吸附、吸附热力学与动力学研究。
• Polymeric reagents and supports: supports for solid-phase synthesis, polymer-supported catalysts and reagents, and recoverable or regenerable support systems.聚合物试剂与载体： 固相合成载体、高分子负载催化剂与试剂、可回收与可再生的载体体系。
• Functional membranes and separation materials: selective separation membranes, stimuli-responsive membrane materials, and evaluation of membrane processes and separation performance.功能膜与分离材料： 选择性分离膜、刺激响应膜材料、膜过程与分离性能的评价。
• Polymer synthesis methods: controlled radical polymerisation and grafting, post-modification with click chemistry, and strategies for structure-controlled functionalisation.高分子合成方法： 可控自由基聚合与接枝、后修饰与点击化学、结构可控的功能化策略。
• Environmental and analytical uses: adsorptive removal from water and gas, stationary phases and sample preparation, and sensor materials with responsive detection.环境与分析应用： 水体与气体的吸附去除、色谱固定相与样品前处理、传感器与响应型检测材料。

Research articles and reviews predominate, with short communications also accepted, and claims of function must be supported by control samples and cycling stability data, since work reporting a single adsorption capacity rarely survives review.稿件类型以研究论文与综述为主，兼收短篇通讯；本刊要求功能性的主张有对照样品与循环稳定性数据的支撑，只报单次吸附容量的工作难以通过评审。

History

• Founding (1982): the journal began in 1982 as Reactive Polymers, at a time when ion exchange and polymer reagent research was moving from the laboratory into industrial use.创刊（1982年）： 本刊于 1982 年以《反应性聚合物》之名创刊，其时离子交换与高分子试剂研究正从实验室走向工业应用。
• Renaming (1995): the present name was adopted with volume 26 in September 1995, numbering continuing straight from the predecessor, a change reflecting the widening of subject matter from ion exchange alone to functional polymers of all kinds.更名（1995年）： 1995 年 9 月本刊以第 26 卷改用现名，卷号直接承接前身，此举反映题材由单一的离子交换材料扩展至各类功能高分子。
• Publisher history: the title was launched by Elsevier and has stayed with that house ever since, remaining a long-held title in this narrow part of its list.出版方沿革： 本刊由爱思唯尔创刊并持续出版至今，期间未发生出版方转移，是集团在这一细分方向上长期持有的刊物。
• Metric trend: the impact factor rose slowly from 3.0 in 2017 to 5.0 in 2021 and then held between 4 and 5 from 2022 to 2025, standing at 5.4 in 2025.指标走势： 影响因子自 2017 年的 3.0 缓慢上升至 2021 年的 5.0，其后在 2022 至 2025 年间稳定于 4 至 5 之间，2025 年为 5.4。

Editors

An editor-in-chief directs the journal with an international board, and referees come mainly from polymer chemistry, materials science and environmental chemical engineering. Manuscripts arrive online and the office filters out those lacking controls or regeneration data at triage. Neither the publisher nor the board publishes an acceptance rate or review duration for the title.本刊由主编统筹并设国际编委会，评审人主要来自高分子化学、材料科学与环境化工诸领域；稿件经在线系统投递，编辑部在初审即筛除缺少对照与再生数据的稿件。出版方与编委会均未公布本刊的录用比例与审稿时长。

• Cycling stability: sorption and separation papers must report how performance changes over repeated cycles, and those concluding from a single experiment are often asked for more.循环稳定性： 吸附与分离类稿件须给出多次循环后的性能变化，仅以单次实验下结论的稿件常被要求补作。
• Structural evidence: the journal requires structural proof together with quantitative functional group data, and work resting on infrared spectra alone without quantification cannot stand.结构表征： 本刊要求功能高分子的结构证据与官能团定量数据齐备，仅有红外谱图而无定量结果的工作难以成立。
• Reporting standards: the office is strict about how capacity and selectivity are reported, and papers without competing ion or co-adsorption experiments are commonly asked to supply them.应用口径： 编辑部对吸附容量与选择性的报道口径要求严格，缺少干扰离子或竞争吸附实验的稿件通常被要求补作。
