Advances in Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and Membranes

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to present your latest results in our Special Issue of Membranes entitled “Advances in Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and Membranes”.

The aim of this issue is to assess the state of the art and future developments in the field of imprinted materials.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) or membranes (MIMs) are a fascinating group of materials able to specifically separate imprinted compounds. These advanced materials are also characterized by high selectivity and affinity toward templates. For this reason, they hold immense importance in separation and sensory processes.

Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• The preparation and characterization of novel molecularly imprinted materials;
• The use of MIPs/MIMs in various types of separation processes, including separation in real conditions;
• The use of MIPs/MIMs as a sensory material, e.g., in electrochemical/optical sensors, bio-mimetic sensors, etc.

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-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.
