Recent Advances in Porous Materials: Simulation, Design, Synthesis, Properties, Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Porous materials of divergent structure and properties are applied in many areas of technology, medicine, environment protection, and analytical laboratories. New types of materials are constantly being designed, synthesized, characterized, and used. Analyses of the relationships between molecular structure and material characteristics, and various possibilities of creation of specific properties in the synthesis process or by post-synthesis modification allow for obtaining the porous materials dedicated to a given application. Interesting, advanced developments in theory, design, and synthesis of porous materials are conducted in many laboratories.

This Special Issue is focused on research including various aspects of material science: the design of materials of desired properties indicating potential application; new synthesis methods especially those adopted to the requirements of green chemistry; the complex characterization of textural, structural, surface, and morphological properties; the analysis of the mechanisms of processes conducted in internal pore space; the determination of structure–properties relationships; the correlation of experimental research with theoretical analysis; and analytical, biomedical, and technological applications of porous materials.

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. 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.
