Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Preparation, Synthesis and Chemical Properties of Functional Materials", will highlight cutting-edge research focused on the development and characterization of novel functional materials with diverse applications. We invite submissions that address innovative synthetic routes, preparation techniques, and comprehensive analyses of chemical properties that enhance material functionality. Manuscripts exploring structure–property relationships, mechanistic insights, and performance optimization strategies are particularly welcome.
Priority will be given to original research that demonstrates significant advances in materials design principles and/or sustainable synthesis methods or reveals new chemical phenomena governing material behavior. Studies investigating multi-functional materials, stimuli-responsive systems, and materials with potential industrial relevance will be particularly encouraged. Papers should clearly articulate both fundamental the scientific contributions and practical implications of the developed materials.
We seek rigorous experimental studies complemented by appropriate theoretical foundations, with a preference for submissions that bridge traditionally separate disciplines in materials science, chemistry, and related fields.
Dr. Apoorva Chaturvedi
Guest Editor
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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
