Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The new Special Issue of Crystals, Advanced Research on Macromolecular Crystals (Volume II), continues the previous Issue (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/crystals/special_issues/featured_topics) and provides a forum to report advancements in subjects of macromolecular crystals related to the synthesis, nucleation, growth, processing, self-assembly structures, properties and applications of all classes of synthetic macromolecules and polymers, or large macromolecules.
The aim of this Special Issue on “Advanced Research on Macromolecular Crystals” is to make known relevant works to our colleagues in the field of macromolecular crystals. The new Special Issue will be guest-edited by Jesús Sanmartín-Matalobos and Eamor M. Woo, who are inviting prominent scientists in the field to submit original research articles, review articles, and short communications focused on the abovementioned subjects of polymeric and macromolecular crystalline materials.
The coverage of topics for this Special Issue is as broad as that of macromolecular crystals, ranging from the synthesis, nucleation, growth, processing, and characterization of macromolecular crystalline materials to the mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, optical, and self-assembly properties, as well as their diverse applications. Among many other subject areas, the topic of macromolecular crystals includes plastics, synthetic fibres, synthetic rubbers, graphene carbon nanotubes, supramolecular polymers, polymer composites, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and polymer–MOF hybrid materials, and liquid-crystalline polymers.
We look forward to your valued contributions to make this Special Issue a reference resource of featured knowledge for future researchers in the field of macromolecular crystals.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
