Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A Special Issue titled "Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Materials Used to Improve the Environment and Human Health” is being launched to collect and disseminate original, theoretical, and applied scientific research in various fields of use of hybrid and composite crystalline materials.
In recent years, due to climate change, there has been increasing interest in the development of hybrid and nanocomposite materials. The state-of-the-art technology leads to the realization of many environmentally friendly materials or properties that help reduce pollution factors. Most applications are found in the automotive, textile, and food industries. These are reflected in the general state of human health. Another important factor that contributes to this condition is the development and application of nanomaterials in medicine. The research focuses mainly on the design and engineering of these materials, which include metal-organic frameworks; covalent organic frameworks; zeolite materials; organic–inorganic hybrids; composites based on graphene or carbon nitride, as well as those based on metal, metal oxides, or polymers, and their applications.
Original research and review papers that will be published in this Special Issue will cover various topics including but not limited to the following:
- Preparative and processing techniques;
- Structure and morphology;
- Tailored optical properties;
- Dressings and biomaterials carrying drugs;
- Advanced catalyst systems;
- Natural pesticides;
- Smart packaging;
- Bioactive coatings;
- Electrochemical sensors.

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. Crystals 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 2600 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.
