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
