Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The simultaneous development of polymer chemistry methods and analytical methods represents new opportunities for the design, synthesis, and application of porous polymers. Currently, new challenges are emerging in some fields. Separation technology is continuously developing not only because of the need for sustainable filtration and purification techniques but also in terms of the separation of metals, gases, or organic chemicals and the application of recycling and green chemistry approaches. Porous polymers could play a role in this. No less important an application is the possibility of using specific porosities in analytical tools for the selective recognition or pre-concentration of trace analytes. This Special Issue focuses on the synthesis, application, and analysis of (micro)porous polymers and related systems. We welcome the submission of original research papers and review articles to this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
