Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oleochemistry plays an important role in the transformation of vegetable oils into products. With the development of various industrial fields and sustainable chemistry, oleochemistry has become important in chemical and other industries, including agriculture, cosmetics, medicine and materials. The products of oleochemistry, also called oleochemicals, include fatty acids, glycerol, palm oil and other non-edible oils, fatty alcohols, soap and so on. The process involves transesterification, hydrogenation, oligomerization, epoxidation, cycloaddition, oxidation and other catalytical reactions. Thus, bio-based oleochemicals can be transformed into various chemical products, which meet modern requirements.
This Special Issue aims to cover advances in the research on: (i) innovations in preparing various oleochemicals; (ii) the transformations of oleochemicals, including transesterification, hydrogenation, epoxidation, cycloaddition and other chemical processes; (iii) the further utilization of oleochemicals, such as printing ink, degradable material, biomedical polymers and so on.

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. Molecules 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.
