David Mark Haddleton (born 1962) is a professor in the department of chemistry at the University of Warwick. His work focuses on controlled polymer synthesis and the industrial applications of polymer materials. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Career

Haddleton was editor in chief of the European Polymer Journal from 2002 – 2009 prior to becoming the founding editor and editor in chief of the Royal Society of Chemistry Polymer Chemistry from 2009 to 2017. He is the executive editor in chief of Cambridge Materials journals published by Cambridge University Press (CUP). He has founded two companies Warwick Effect Polymers Ltd (now part of Abzena) a drug-polymer conjugation company and Medherant Ltd which develops transdermal drug delivery patches for delivery of testosterone for women where he is a director and CSO.
