Magnetic Gels - Volume 2

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “Magnetic Gels” is dedicated to recent developments, from theoretical and fundamental aspects, of the synthesis, characterization, materials properties, and applications of magnetic gels, hydrogels and organogels. The physical properties of magnetic gels dramatically change in response to magnetic fields and they have attracted considerable attention in the past few decades. Recently, magnetic gels have been used in industrial products, using their excellent response to magnetic fields; magnetic separation, drug delivery, drug release, magnetic hyperthermia, dampers, sensors, and actuators. Contributions based on the materials science and technology are very welcome.

Prof. Dr. Tetsu Mitsumata
Guest Editor

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.
