Polymer for Dye Adsorption

Dear Colleagues,

The search for new technologies and materials for wastewater treatment has been increasing, and adsorption technology stands out because of its simple and low-cost process. This Special Issue is related to adsorbents based on synthetic polymers, polymeric nanocomposites, biopolymers, polymeric membranes, and conducting polymers, with different functionalities and characteristics capable of capturing the molecules of organic dyes in aqueous solution. Polymeric materials allow for the elaboration of a diverse range of efficient, reusable, economical, and environmentally friendly materials that may present competitive dye adsorption abilities. In addition, this Special Issue also includes topics such as the stabilization of metallic nanoparticles or metallic oxides in polymeric matrices and their ability to degrade organic dyes previously adsorbed in the material, which have attracted considerable scientific attention due to their simplicity, reusability, and high catalytic activity and because they do not generate byproducts that pollute the environment.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue.

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. Polymers 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.
