Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue, titled “Feature Papers in Macromolecular Chemistry, 2nd Edition”. This is a collection of important, high-quality papers (original research articles or comprehensive review papers) published in open-access format by prominent scholars invited by the Editorial Office and Guest Editors. The aim of the Special Issue is to provide readers an overview of current trends while inspiring future investigations in macromolecular chemistry and its interdisciplinary frontiers.
This Special Issue highlights significant advancements and pioneering directions in macromolecular chemistry. We welcome submissions across the broad spectrum of polymer science, including but not limited to novel synthetic methodologies, structure–property relationships, bio-based and biodegradable polymers, stimuli-responsive systems, polymer composites, and macromolecular characterization.
Dr. Pietro Russo
Dr. Sonia Trombino
Dr. Roberta Cassano

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).
