Latest Review Papers in Macromolecules
This special issue belongs to the section “Macromolecules“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce a Topical Collection dedicated exclusively to authoritative and insightful review articles that highlight the most exciting recent advancements in the expansive field of Macromolecules. We warmly invite leading experts and emerging scholars alike to contribute their perspectives, providing in-depth analyses of recent breakthroughs, novel methodologies, and anticipated future directions in macromolecular science.
The scope of this Topical Collection broadly encompasses macromolecular synthesis and characterization, macromolecular physics, bio-macromolecules, macromolecular composites, responsive and functional macromolecules, sustainable macromolecular chemistry, as well as cutting-edge approaches involving simulations, computational modeling, and artificial intelligence-driven strategies. Furthermore, we welcome reviews focusing on practical applications in medicine, biotechnology, environmental sustainability, and advanced materials.
Full-length review articles are particularly encouraged to present comprehensive assessments, highlight emerging challenges, and discuss future opportunities in the field, thereby providing valuable guidance for ongoing and future research initiatives. Reviews that foster interdisciplinary dialogue, highlight innovative strategies, or bridge fundamental research with practical, real-world applications are especially valued.
We eagerly await your contributions, which will significantly enhance this collection and drive continued innovation and collaborative excellence within the macromolecular research community.
Dr. Xiao Hu
Collection Editor
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
