Advances in Characterization of Materials Based on Dispersed Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Dispersed systems is composed by two immiscible phases in contact. Many commercial products exist as dispersed-systems materials and have potential applications in medical, pharmaceutical, food or agrochemical industry. Therefore, a good understanding of their properties is essential to design and develop stable products. The characterization of these systems is related to a variety of techniques such as multiple light scattering, laser diffraction, rheology, differential scanning calorimetry and different types of microscopy. The physicochemical properties of dispersed systems depend on the type and concentration of ingredients that it contains, as well as the method used to create it.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to publish outstanding reviews and original papers, which focus on challenges and innovations related to the development, characterization, and physical stability of dispersed systems.

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.
