Macromolecular Self-assembled Systems

Virtual Only

ACS Fall 2025
Global Virtual Symposium

 

Next-Generation Macromolecular Self-assembled Systems

Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering Division

The self-assembly of molecular and macromolecular building blocks is a powerful strategy to prepare fascinating nanostructured materials with hierarchical architectures for various technological applications. This is a multidisciplinary research area and needs a strong collaboration between chemists, physicists, biologists and material scientists to advance applications.

This symposium will focus on the recent advances in the macromolecular self-assembly and nanostructured polymers with the aim of opening new areas of applications and clarifying the relevant science in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are Flash presentations?

    They are brief, impactful, and convey information about a novel protocol, perspective, technique, or research results. For instance, one Flash Talk may describe an innovative interdisciplinary research outcome. Another may describe results for a pilot/prototype study.

  • Can I submit an abstract if I'm not an early career researcher?

    This symposium focuses on early career researchers, but all researchers are welcome to attend. However, the format of the presentation will be 8 minutes flash talk.

  • What is the submission deadline for abstracts?

    The submission deadline for abstracts is March 31, 11:59 PM ET.

  • What is the required format for abstracts?

    Abstracts should be 2500 characters or less and include the title, author(s), and a concise description of your research.

  • Can I include images or figures in my abstract?

    Yes, limited use of images or figures is permitted to enhance your abstract's content.

  • When will I know if my abstract is accepted?

    Presenters can expect to receive their acceptance notices approximately 3 months before the meeting. Scheduling notices are sent periodically starting approximately 2 months before the meeting.

  • What if I can't attend the symposium on the scheduled date?

    The Global Virtual Symposia does not have provision for recorded talks. Presenters can only present in real-time. However, for any rescheduling requests, please reach out to our symposium chairs and organizers beforehand.

  • Do I need to register separately if my abstract is accepted?

    Yes, accepted presenters will have to register for ACS Fall 2025. Symposium organizers will reach out to confirm their participation.
