Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Directed development and application of polymeric materials has resulted in significant progress in separation science and effective, efficient and selective separations of a wide variety of analytes. Polymeric materials have been utilized to effect separations by many and varied approaches, including as stationary phases and monoliths in liquid chromatography, gels and solubilized sieving matrices in capillary electrophoresis, coatings to minimize analyte adsorption and alter surface properties, as pseudo-stationary phases in electrokinetic chromatography, and as sorbents for selective extraction and recovery of analytes from complex matrices. This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in the development and application of polymeric materials for application in liquid phase separations. Authors are invited to submit research papers and/or review articles.

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. Separations 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 2600 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.
