Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the lack of dynamic adjustability in traditional materials has limited their applications in chemical and biological fields. Therefore, searching for suitable supramolecular assemblies has become an important issue in the field of science. Using supramolecular interactions such as hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions, coordination interactions, ΠΠ stacking, van der Waals forces or covalent interactions, supermolecules or supermolecular polymers with linear, spherical, tubular, and other morphologies with dynamic adjustability, regular structures, and large surface areas have been constructed. Due to these advantages, supramolecular assemblies are widely used in fields such as bioimaging, chemical sensing, fluorescent probes, hydrogels, antibacterial, anticancer, photodynamics, energy, environment, food, etc. Therefore, designing and constructing novel supramolecules is of great significance in many research fields.

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. Polymers 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.
