Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-immobilized catalysts have advanced widely over the past years. The recent development of polymer-based catalysts caused the identification of numerous highly active catalysts, which are, however, still far less known than metal/metal oxide catalysts. The polymeric catalysts were efficiently used in various applications such as the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants (e.g., dye, drug, and other organic compounds) and organic reactions. The polymer-immobilized catalysts have higher catalytic activities and stereoselectivities compared with their corresponding low-molecular-weight catalysts in homogeneous solution systems. The heterogeneity of the organic reaction using polymeric catalysts gives great advantages in the synthetic process.
This Special Issue welcomes both review and original research articles on all aspects of polymer-supported and polymer-immobilized catalysts in the organic reactions and the degradation of organic pollutants.
The Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to, polymer-supported and polymer-immobilized catalysts and applications for:
- Design of novel polymer-based nanocomposite in organic reactions.
- Design of novel polymer-based nanocomposite for removal of organic pollutants.
- Design of novel polymer/inorganic nanoparticle nanocomposites and their application in the environment.
- Polymer/Enzyme Composite with good catalytic activity.

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. Catalysts 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 2200 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
