Recent Advances in Water/Solid Interfaces

Dear Colleagues,

The study of thin water films on surfaces started, as did many of the pioneering investigations in surface science, with Irving Langmuir at 1918. Then in the past 100 years, there have been countless studies on water film. As is known to all, thin film water is ubiquitous and any surface under ambient conditions is coated by a thin water film. This film can have a profound effect on the physical and chemical properties of the substrates coated by water and how they interact with the enviroment. Besides, the substarte has also an impact on the struture and properties of the water film itself, promoting or hindering ice nucleation, for example.

Thus, the Editorial Board of Molecules is pleased to announce a Special Issue focused on the “Recent Advances in Water/Solid Interfaces”. This Special Issue is expected to provide an excellent platform to report results that. It is a pleasure to invite you to submit manuscript to this Special Issue. Regular articles, communications, as well as reviews are all welcome.

Dr. Albert Verdaguer

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. 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.
