Recent Insights in Chemistry and Technology of Cyclodextrins

Dear Colleagues,

At present, Cyclodextrin Chemistry and Technology has involved numerous scientists in various academic and industrial teams. In this field, pure research and industrial applications mostly converge in the unique aim of improving health and quality of life, increasing the feasibility of green technologies to prepare novel molecules, complexes and innovative materials for nanomedicine, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, food manufacturing, and the environment (bioremediation, renewable energy processes, catalysis, and conservation of cultural heritage). This Special Issue will collect the more meaningful contributions of the ICS2022 symposium (http://www.ismn.cnr.it/ics2020/), and will be focused on the following topics, privileging the property–structure correlation of the designed cyclodextrin systems: 

• -Chemistry and modeling;
• -Supramolecules, polymers, and self-assembly;
• -Nanomaterials;
• -Hybrid, soft, and biomaterials;
• -Life science;
• -Therapy and diagnosis;
• -Nutraceutics;
• -Analytical applications;
• -Green technologies;
• -Catalysis;
• -Cyclodextrins for fighting virus and pathogen agents.

This Special Issue is open from 30 May 2020. Both articles and reviews on the above mentioned topics are fully welcome.

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-anonymized 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.
