Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 12th International Conference on “Instrumental Methods of Analysis” (www.ima2021.gr), organized by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and National Technical University of Athens, provides the opportunity for high-level analytical scientists from all around the world to promote their relevant research.

Following the conference, the journal Applied Sciences will organize a Special Issue, which will publish papers focusing on new concepts, instruments, methods, systems, and applications in the area of modern chemical analysis, and more specifically, in the topic specified below:

  • Spectrometric and electrometric analysis;
  • Chromatographic, mass spectrometric, microscopic and thermal analysis methods;
  • Proteomics, metabolomics, metallomics and elemental speciation analysis;
  • Chemical and biosensors;
  • Field analysis—mobile analytical instruments;
  • Miniaturized analytical systems (lab-on-a-chip), micro- and nanofluidics;
  • Immunoassays, electrophoretic separation techniques;
  • Sampling techniques and strategies;
  • Robotics and automation;
  • Quality control–quality assurance in analysis;
  • Metrology;
  • Data processing and chemometrics;
  • Environmental analysis;
  • Biomedical (ecotoxicological, clinical) and pharmaceutical analysis;
  • Food analysis;
  • Materials analysis (nanomaterials, smart/advanced materials, surface analysis);
  • Archaeometry.

Special sessions focused on aerosol metrology (supported by EU Project AEROMET II), advanced X-ray techniques (supported by the European X-ray Spectrometry Association) and virus spread analytics are organized within the frame of IMA-2021.

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. Applied Sciences 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.

Ancient potteries found at Ban Muang Bua, located in northeastern Thailand, associate with Thung Kula Ronghai culture. Most of them are products used in daily life and grave goods. The potsherds were examined using techniques based on X-ray spectroscopy. Elemental composition and morphology were analyzed using proton-induced X-ray emission spectroscopy (PIXE) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Three-dimensional analysis was performed using X-ray tomographic microscopy based on synchrotron radiation (SR XTM). Irregular plate-like particles of composites with a wide range of size distribution were found in the potsherds. The major (O, Si, and Al), minor (C, Fe, Ca, and K), and trace elements (P, S, Ti, Na, Mg, and Zn) which were observed can provide the information about raw materials and production of pottery. The 3D tomographic images show the internal feature of these samples. The combination of SEM-EDS, PIXE, and SR XTM is a powerful tool for archaeological research especially in terms of composition and internal structure. The results imply that the raw materials of pottery were sandy soil derived from marine sands, clays, and salt deposits that were mostly iron-rich-kaolin clay. The production was carried out with low firing temperatures (~600–900 °C) in open-air kilns. Full article
