Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Microwave-assisted synthesis is a versatile technique in advanced material research, and provides substantial benefits regarding speed, energy efficiency, and control over material characteristics. Many highly efficient materials, including nanomaterials, polymers, ceramics, and others, have been successfully synthesized using microwave-assisted techniques in advanced materials. It is a vital technique to applications where nanoscale properties are the highest priority; for instance, chemical reaction catalysts require a large surface area and a high catalytic activity. Furthermore, it can heat specific components inside a mixture, facilitating new reaction conditions that are unattainable using traditional techniques. Microwave synthesis facilitates environmentally friendly "green" chemistry by frequently diminishing or obviating the necessity for solvents, lowering energy usage, and decreasing waste products.

This Special Issue invites contributions related to microwave-assisted synthesis for catalysis, energy storage, pharmaceuticals and drug delivery systems, quantum dots, optical materials, and others diverse 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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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.
