Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Minerals, entitled ‘Synthetic Clay-Based Materials and Layered Double Hydroxides’, comprises a selection of recent studies on synthetic clay minerals and clay-based materials. Via the development and application of clay-based materials, which range from conventional materials to current functional nanocomposites, technological advances based on clay minerals are of great benefit to human society. In these circumstances, the creation of complex clay-based materials and compounds that are similar to clay minerals remains necessary. Contributions to this Special Issue reveal that scientists involved in the development of clay consistently focus their research on synthetic clay minerals, clay-based materials, and analogs such as layered double hydroxides (LDHs), due to the existence of 2D stable materials with larger surface areas. These substances are becoming progressively more active in catalysis, biology, the natural environment, and nanotechnology.

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. Minerals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
