The 4th International Symposium on Macro- and Supramolecular Architectures and Materials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications (MAM-08), sponsored by IUPAC and German Research Foundation (DFG), was organized by Prof. Dr. Helmut Ritter et al. and held at the Heinrich-Heine University Dusseldorf from September 7–11, 2008. The aim of the congress was to bring together scientists from over the world to present scientific and technological findings related to the areas of polymer chemistry (macromolecular) and extended molecular networks (supramolecular). By gathering engineers, material scientists as well as inorganic, organic and physical chemists would offer a diversified view on the fascinating and versatile issues of science.
