Advanced Polymers for Wastewater Treatment and Toxicant Removal

Dear Colleagues,

A considerable amount of freshwater is polluted by wastewater streaming into natural water bodies. Diverse types of contaminants could adversely affect the quality of water/wastewater, namely aromatic compounds, heavy metals, pharmaceutical micropollutants, organic cationic dyes, etc. To overcome the negative consequences of this, many remediation techniques have been employed, such as chemical, physical, and biological treatments. Polymer composites and MOFs have shown attractive capabilities for treating wastewater. 

This Special Issue on “Advanced Polymers for Wastewater Treatment and Toxicant Removal” aims to focus on but is not limited to the effect of polymer-based materials, synthesis methods, and characterizations in removing toxic contaminants from waster. 

Scientists are welcome to submit their works covering the subject.

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.
