Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After B.B.Mandelbrot published his works concerning fractals—defining them as objects with peculiar geometry, characterized by fractional exponents—a lot of studies have emerged in the scientific literature. Applications in engineering (fractal antennas), physics and chemistry (heterogeneous catalysis, adsorption, chemical reactions, light scattering on fractal surfaces), computer science (iterative algorithms for image compression), and even in literature or geography were developed.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present state of the art applications of the fractal theory in materials chemistry. Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The fractal dimension determination of materials (micrograph analysis, adsorption isotherms methods, SAXS method);
- The relation between physical and chemical properties of materials and fractal dimension;
- Adsorption on fractal surfaces;
- Fractal adsorption isotherms;
- Applications of fractal theory on chemical reactions;
- Catalysts and applications of fractal theory in catalysis;
- Dynamics on fractals;
- Fractions in diffusion-limited reactions.

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. Fractal and Fractional 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 2700 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.
