Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite contributions to this Special Issue of Processes, entitled “Advanced Materials for Sustainable and Green Sample Preparation”. In an era where environmental sustainability is of paramount importance, the development and application of advanced materials in green sample preparation techniques are crucial. This Special Issue aims to bring together innovative research that showcases the latest advancements in this vital field.
The focus of this Special Issue is on the design, synthesis, and application of advanced materials that enhance the efficiency, selectivity, and environmental compatibility of sample preparation processes. We are particularly interested in studies that explore novel materials and methods that minimize the use of hazardous chemicals, reduce energy consumption, and promote the sustainable use of resources.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Development of green solvents and reagents for sample preparation.
- Application of nanomaterials in sustainable extraction techniques.
- Biodegradable and renewable materials for sample processing.
- Innovations in sorbent- and solvent-based microextraction techniques.
- Advances in membrane technology for sample preparation.
- Use of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in analytical chemistry.
- Photocatalytic and bio-inspired materials for environmental sample analysis.
- Automation and miniaturization of green sample preparation methods.
- Sustainable protocols for the isolation and analysis of bioactive compounds.
- Sustainable protocols for the isolation and analysis of contaminants.
- Comparative studies of traditional vs. green sample preparation techniques.
We encourage the submission of original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to the advancement of sustainable and green sample preparation. Your contributions will help shape the future of environmentally friendly analytical techniques and support the global effort towards sustainability.
We look forward to sharing innovative research that will drive forward the field of green sample preparation.

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.
