Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As environmental concerns have become more and more pressing in our society in recent years, sustainability has become an increasingly important consideration in the design of sustainable materials. In this sense, the scientific community intends to respond to this growing need with several research works entirely dedicated to the eco-design of materials and their environmental aspects for sustainable applications.
Materials and the environment deal in detail with topics such as the use of natural resources, the life cycle of materials, their carbon footprint and the inseparable issue of energy consumption, the ecological selection of materials, legal aspects, recycling, renewable materials, and sustainable development.
The objective of this Special Issue entitled "Emerging Sustainable Materials for Environmental Engineering" is to collect and publish the latest research results aimed at overcoming environmental concerns using materials science and engineering for sustainability, combining new advances and research results in the field of advanced materials engineering and technology.
Original research on luminescent materials for medical imaging, energy storage, and conversion systems will also be considered.
Original research papers and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Preparation and characterization of sustainable materials;
- Recycling and waste management of materials;
- Wastewater treatment;
- Environmental applications of green materials;
- The life cycle of emerging materials;
- Materials for energy production, storage, and conversion;
- Emerging materials for oil and gas;
- Sustainability and the environment;
- Luminescent materials for medical imaging;
I look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
