Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Self-assembly governs an enormous array of processes in chemistry, biology, and physics, giving rise to structures that range from nanoscale clusters of molecules to much larger assemblages such as the protein shells of viruses. Self-assembled encompasses one-dimensional supramolecular polymers, two-dimensional monolayers at interfaces, and three-dimensional crystals. The sheer variety of self-assembled structures found in nature is breathtaking in scope, and scientists have only barely begun to unpack the rules underlie the formation organized supramolecular entities.
This Special Issue explores the latest efforts to understand the structure–property relationships that govern self-assembly in both solution and the solid state, with a focus on the rational design of new organic materials.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
