Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research is pleased to publish this virtual special issue (VSI), which contains 19 invited research articles from authors who made outstanding presentations at the 254th ACS National Meeting in Washington, DC. The theme of the National Meeting was “Chemistry’s Impact on the Global Economy”, and globalization is evident in this VSI, with contributions coming from authors on four different continents. The invited papers were selected from a broad cross section of symposia, and most of the contributions deal with polymers or catalysts. Each of these materials are vitally important in the global economy. Polymeric materials can be end products and catalytic materials enable synthesis of other chemical products. Chemistry plays a huge role in both the manufacture and use of catalytic and polymeric materials.

This compilation is our fifth virtual special issue containing invited papers from an ACS National Meeting (http://pubs.acs.org/page/iecred/vi/applied-chemistry-economy-washdc-2018). Six of the articles (1−6) deal with catalysis or new catalytic materials for reactions such as CO2 hydrogenation to make oxygenates or hydrocarbons, (1,6) water gas shift, (5) and photodegradation. (2) Nine of the articles (7−15) focus on some aspect of macromolecular chemistry. These articles consider biological/biomedical applications (7,8,11,13,15) and methods for producing polyols with unique architecture, (8) precision polyolefins, (10) and polymer brushes. (11,12) Several articles (16−18) have a connection to energy production, utilization, or storage and illustrate ways that chemistry plays a role in powering the global economy; others tackle environmental problems. (2,19)

We trust that this VSI with invited papers from the 254th ACS National Meeting will be valued by both our authors and our readers.
