Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have been invited by the Editor of Polymers (MDPI) to establish a Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Self-Assembled Polymers and Dendronized Polymers”.
Self-assembly involves the spontaneous aggregation of molecules into stable and ordered ensembles by non-covalent interactions. Benefiting from the dynamic nature of noncovalent interactions and relatively high stability of polymers, self-assembled polymers exhibit unique advantages in producing complexed functional materials and are found to have widespread applications in the field of tissue engineering, drug delivery vehicles, gels, membrane materials, catalysis, and so on.
In this Special Issue, we aim to capture the cutting edge of the state of the art in research pertaining to self-assembled polymers and related materials. Contributions on the fabrication of supramolecular polymers, macromolecular self-assemblies, natural biomass polymers, dendronized polymers, and their related applications will constitute the backbone of this Special Issue. Theoretical studies on self-assembly are also welcome.

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.
