Structure and Dynamics of Polymers and Self-Assembled Soft Materials
This special issue belongs to the section “Materials Chemistry“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The structural diversity of soft materials provides them with unique microscopic dynamics and emergent macroscopic properties. It also enables them to have wide applications in energy storage, healthcare technologies, etc. In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions that investigate the dynamics, rheology, physics and structural–property relationships of polymers and self-assembled soft materials. We also welcome explorations of the applications of these materials. The definition of soft materials should be broad, including, but not limited to, polymers, biopolymers, peptides, and colloids. Original research articles, reviews, mini reviews and perspectives are all suitable formats.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
