Advanced Composites for Environmental Protection

Dear Colleagues,

The prospect of chemical and physical modification of natural and synthetic polymers makes it possible to obtain polymer composites with defined properties.

Environmental protection in the broadest sense involves designing materials that limit the spread of pollutants in the environment and enable their selective removal from air, water, wastewater, and soil. New materials should be characterized by ease of production, wide application potential, long service life, and ease of recycling or degradation into environmentally neutral products.

We are pleased to invite you to present your research in this Special Issue entitled "Advanced Composites for Environmental Protection."

The aim of this Special Issue is to present the possibilities of producing new composite materials with previously undescribed properties that may find applications in broadly understood environmental protection methods.

This Special Issue welcomes original research articles. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Composite materials based on natural polymers;
• Composite materials based on synthetic polymers;
• Composite membranes, fibers, and granules for removing pollutants from the natural environment;
• Advanced eco-friendly materials;
• Structural and physicochemical studies of new composite materials;
• Application of composites materials in methods for removing environmental pollutants;
• Chemically or biologically inert composite materials.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
