From the editor's desk - Polymer Chemistry 2018

The past year has been a year of change for Polymer Chemistry. Our founding Editor-in-Chief, Prof. David Haddleton from the University of Warwick, left the journal after leading it for 8 years and two terms as Editor-in-Chief, the maximum allowed under Royal Society of Chemistry terms. I have been on the editorial board of the journal since its inception in 2010 and I have served as an Associate Editor since 2013, and was thus able to follow Dave's highly successful leadership of the journal very closely. The entire polymer community as well as the editorial and advisory boards highly appreciate Dave's energy, passion and leadership for establishing a premier journal that focuses on all aspects of polymer chemistry. Since the first issue, Polymer Chemistry has established itself as a venue for the most innovative and high quality chemistry in the realm of polymer science
