Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Colloid chemistry summarizes creating and understanding the behaviour of colloidal systems and how chemical methods and techniques can be used to control and modify properties of the bulk and the surface of colloidal particles. Colloidal reaction systems, such as emulsions, are used for the formulation of nanoparticlate systems, but also as nanoscaled reactors for a variety of reactions. The small confined reaction space may alter the reaction conditions and products, when compared to conventional syntheses. Defined and controlled reactions on particle surfaces allow the introduction of functional groups as well as interactions among the particles to be tuned, e.g., for improved colloidal stability, controlled self-assembly, or interaction with biological systems.

As an interdisciplinary topic, contributions from chemistry, physics, biology, and medical sciences, especially when touching several disciplines, are welcome to show the extent and impact of colloidal chemistry.

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. Gels 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 2100 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.
