Message to all members of the Editorial Council of Polímeros: Ciência e Tecnologia.

Dear readers, authors, reviewers and contributors.

The Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) released the 2019 edition of the Journal of Citation Reports (JCR) on 20^th June 2019. The impact factor of Polymers is now 0.806, an increase of more than 15% in relation to the last evaluation. The continuous growth observed in the last five years reflects the maturity of Brazilian researchers working in the field of polymer science, as well as the contributions of scientists from different countries. The Editorial Committee has been working hard and we hope to continue to rely on polymer scientists to achieve even greater impact. We thank the work of the members of the Editorial Committee and Editorial Council, the funding agencies, authors and reviewers, as well as the ABPol Secretariat who provide all necessary support for the success of Polímeros.

The President of the Editorial Council

Antonio Aprigio S. Curvelo
