Application of Supercritical Fluids Technology in Various Topics

Dear Colleagues,

Research and applications of supercritical fluids (SCFs) technology are growing and developing in various fields. These include essential and seed oil extraction, fluid phase equilibria, thermodynamics (equation of state, i.e., PR, SRK, PC-SAFT, COSMO-SAC, COSMO-VAC, etc, empirical and semi-empirical and intelligence approaches), drug delivery systems, particle formation (e.g., RESS (Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions), RESSAS (Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions in an Aqueous Solution), RESS-N (Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions with a Non-solvent), RESS-SC (Rapid Expansion of a Supercritical Solution with Solid Co-solvent), RESOLV (Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions into a Liquid Solvent), SAS (Supercritical Anti-solvent), SEDS (Solution Enhanced Dispersion by Supercritical), SFEE (Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Emulsions), PGSS (Particle from Gas Saturated Solution), US-RESOLV (ultrasonic-assisted RESOLV, developed by Prof. Sodeifian, for the first time)), solubility of a solid solute of drugs and dyes, synthesis of polymers such as cyclic type in supercritical media especially supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂), impregnation, sterilization, cleaning, purification of polluted soils, aerogel, biomass, biodiesel, modeling (FEM, finite element method), molecular dynamic simulation (MDS), heat and mass transfer, power generation systems, adsorption equilibria, liposome encapsulation and others.

This Special Issue aims to cover the application of supercritical fluids (SCFs) technology in different fields and all authors are welcome.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules 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 2700 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.
