Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in manufacturing technologies have opened the door for novel aerosol filtration materials and media production. Additionally, advanced imaging and computational capabilities allow for improvements to be made on existing filtration models, as well as the development of new modeling techniques. In this Special Issue of Atmosphere, “Advances in Understanding Aerosol Filtration”, researchers are encouraged to present and share their work that highlights the utilization of these novel technologies, bringing a deeper and more diverse understanding to the field of aerosol filtration. We invite papers exploring all topics on novel aerosol filtration, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Media production techniques;
  • Analysis methodologies;
  • Modeling capabilities;
  • Media material considerations;
  • Performance testing and enhancement;
  • Particle formation and analysis;
  • Instrumentation techniques;
  • Flow simulation.

We will consider papers outside of these topics that still fit within the general scope of advances in understanding aerosol filtration.

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. Atmosphere 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 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.
