Macromolecules

Macromolecules publishes original, fundamental, and impactful research on all aspects of polymer science. Typical papers published in Macromolecules showcase important and innovative concepts, experimental methods/observations, and theoretical/computational approaches that demonstrate a fundamental advance in the understanding of polymers. Topics of interest include, but are not exclusively limited to: Polymer synthesis (e.g. controlled polymerizations, polymerization catalysis, post polymerization modification, new monomer structures and polymer architectures, and polymerization mechanisms/kinetics analysis) Polymer phase behavior, thermodynamics, dynamics, and ordering/disordering phenomena (e.g. self-assembly, gelation, crystallization, solution/melt/solid-state characteristics) Structure and properties (e.g. mechanical and rheological properties, surface/interfacial characteristics, electronic and transport properties) New state of the art characterizations (e.g. spectroscopy, scattering, microscopy, rheology) Simulation and theoretical methods (e.g. Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, multi-scale/coarse-grained modeling) Renewable/sustainable polymers Polymer networks Responsive polymers Electro-, magneto- and opto-active macromolecules Inorganic polymers Charge-transporting polymers (e.g. ion-containing, semiconducting, and conducting) Nanostructured polymers Polymer composites
