Porous Materials for Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Porous materials featuring high surface areas, narrow pore size distribution, and tunable pore diameters have attracted a great deal of attention due to their relevant properties and applications in various areas including adsorption, separation, sensing, catalysis, pollutant removal, CO₂ capture, energy storage, catalytic oxidation and reduction processes, conversion of biomass to biofuels, and drug delivery. Due to the development of a wide range of these materials with varying morphologies (e.g., hexagonal, cubic, rod-like), chemistry (e.g., silicates, carbons, metal oxides, hybrid materials, metal-organic frameworks), and functionalities, this field is currently one of the most advanced in materials science.

This Special Issue aims to collect novel research studies or comprehensive review papers in the fields of synthesis, design, characterization, modeling, and applications of porous materials and their biomedical applications.

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.
