Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of sustainable, safe, and environmentally friendly carbonaceous materials from agricultural waste and waste plastics has attracted a great deal of attention for their wide range of potential applications. Carbonaceous materials have a wide range of high-tech applications such as flexible display panels, fiber-reinforced composites, energy storage, catalyst support, sports equipment, dielectric electromagnetic absorbers, automotive and aerospace-related products, and application of wastewater treatment. Their performance, as well as the number of potential applications, can be further increased by combining them with functional materials.
The scope of this Special Issue is to offer a platform where new developments in carbonaceous materials from biomass and waste plastics will be published. The focus of these developments may relate the application of advanced processing techniques to synthesize, manipulate, and functionalize the carbonaceous materials and detailed chemical and functional characterization of the raw materials and composites; and optimization of the properties of the materials and composites for potential use in high-tech applications. I kindly invite any researcher that wants to contribute in this area to submit their work in this Special Issue on “Green production of carbonaceous materials from biomass and waste plastics”.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
