For over twenty years, Prof. Yusuf Yagci has had a tremendous impact on the advancement of polymer chemistry and, in particular, of polymer photochemistry. This year Yusuf Yagci celebrated his 65th birthday. The Macromolecular Journals team took this opportunity to congratulate Yusuf Yagci on his outstanding contribution to polymer science, with a dedicated issue.

This special issue, guest-edited by Prof. Umit Tunca, is a collection of contributions from scientists who had the pleasure and honor to work together with Yusuf Yagci during his career.

The Macromolecular Journals team would like to thank Yusuf Yagci for his support as an author, referee and journal board member and wishes him all the best for the future!
