Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them ideal for adsorption applications in various fields, including water treatment, air purification, and the removal of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic substances. Polymer-based adsorbents can also be utilized in the medical field, such as for the removal of harmful substances from the human body.
Adsorption is a process whereby solid particles or liquid droplets attract and retain substances on their surface, making polymers an excellent choice for providing suitable surfaces for this purpose. Polymer-based adsorbents offer advantages such as an excellent adsorption performance, high mechanical strength, and good durability. However, it is important to consider the selectivity of adsorbed substances and the impact of temperature and humidity on adsorption performance when selecting a polymer-based adsorbent.
This Special Issue, titled "Polymers for Adsorption Applications", in Polymers aims to present the latest advancements in polymer-based materials preparation and applications, addressing the pressing need for adsorption. We welcome both comprehensive reviews and original contributions.
With a focus on the adsorption applications of polymers, potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Coordination polymer;
- Functional polymer coating;
- New polymer in adsorption;
- Adsorption extraction;
- Sample preparation;
- Solid-phase extraction;
- Adsorption removal;
- Water treatment.

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. Polymers 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.
