Surfactants—SWOT Portfolio

Dear Colleagues,

The editors of this Special Issue invite you to share your knowledge and research findings on surfactants, with the aim of creating a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) portfolio.

The dual characteristics of surfactant molecules and their remarkable potential have attracted the interest of researchers and R&D engineers for many years, as they seek to improve molecular architecture, surface interactions, efficiency, synergy, durability, and environmental benefits.

The study of surfactants encompasses a wide range of interdisciplinary topics, including their physicochemical properties, adsorption behavior, and interactions with various surfaces. Understanding these aspects is crucial for optimizing their performance and addressing environmental considerations.

In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions that explore theoretical approaches, applications, interactions, adsorption, optimization, chemical analytical methods, interferences, and environmental impacts associated with surfactants. Interest is welcomed from scientists in various fields whose research advances the current state of the art.

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.
