Feature Papers in Macromolecular Crystals

Dear Colleagues,

The Section Macromolecular Crystals of Crystals provides a forum to report advancements in the understanding of the synthesis, nucleation, growth, processing, structure, properties, and applications of all classes of non-natural macromolecules, such as inorganic and organic polymers, or inorganic and organic large non-polymeric molecules.

The aim of this Special Issue on “Featured Papers in Macromolecular Crystals” is to make known relevant works to our colleagues in the macromolecular crystals field. To achieve this, the Special Issue edited by Jesús Sanmartín-Matalobos and Eamor M. Woo is inviting prominent scientists in the field to submit research articles, review articles as well as short communications focused on the synthesis, crystallization, characterization, properties, and theoretical aspects of macromolecular crystalline materials. The coverage of topics of this Special Issue is as broad as that of the Section Macromolecular Crystals, ranging from the synthesis, nucleation, growth, processing, and characterization of macromolecular crystalline materials to the mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, optical, and self-assembly properties, as well as their diverse applications. Among many other subject areas, the Section Macromolecular Crystals includes plastics, synthetic fibres, synthetic rubber, graphene carbon nanotubes, supramolecular polymers, polymer composites, metal coordination polymers, hybrid polymeric materials, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), polymer–MOF hybrid materials, macrocycles, macrocyclic metal complexes, liquid crystals, and eutectic molecular liquids.

Therefore, we look forward to your valued contributions to make this Special Issue a reference resource of featured knowledge for future researchers in the Macromolecular Crystals field.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
