Since many years the Macromolecular Journals have been aiming at bringing to you the latest research on all aspects of state-of-the-art macromolecular science presented in various categories. We have always been trying to offer an attractive mixture of high-quality Review Articles, Feature Articles, Full Papers and Communications.
Today, we are providing you with a collection of carefully selected Feature and Trend Articles from our journals.
For a limited time you can now take a look at these selected articles for free!
Recent Advances in Nanoscale Bioinspired Materials
Melik C. Demirel, Murat Cetinkaya, Abdon Pena-Francesch and Huihun Jung
Structural and functional characteristics of bio-derived materials for the design fabrication and synthesis of eco-friendly and recyclable advanced nano-materials are highlighted in this Feature Article.

tial eco-friendly materials easily produced from renewable resources at reduced cost and in a broad array of useful applications.
pH-Switchable Self-Assembled Materials
Hendrik Frisch and Pol Besenius
In this Feature 
Article, current strategies that have been used in order to design self-assembled materials with pH-responsive properties are illustrated.
The discussion addresses self-assembly of polymer-based building blocks, assemblies emerging from small molecules including surfactants or derived from biological macromolecules, and finally the controlled self-assembly of oligopeptides.
Melt Electrospinning of Small Molecules
Julia C. Singer, Andreas Ringk, Reiner Giesa and Hans-Werner Schmidt
Electrospinning is an attractive way to prepare nano- and macrofibers. Compared to solution electrospinning of polymers, only a few studies have been published dealing with the solution electrospinning of small molecules.
In this Feature Article, the authors reveal structure–property relations with respect to spinnability and fiber morphology using various small molecules with different structures.
Supramolecular Assembly-Assisted Synthesis of Responsive Polymeric Materials with Controlled Chain Topologies
Jinming Hu and Shiyong Liu
In this Trend 
Article, the authors elaborate on the fabrication of functional responsive materials aided by supramolecular self-assembly.
The discussions are mainly categorized in terms of topological structures of resulting polymers. Three types of polymers, namely linear, non-linear shaped and crosslinked nanostructures are highlighted.
