Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advent of new applications, the demand for newly developed higher-performing material is increasing. Porous materials are an essential family of materials with applications ranging from energy to tissue engineering, biomedical, filtration, food science, transportation, and space, to mention a few. Polymeric materials are the top choice in many of these applications due to their ease of processing and durability. The development of new polymeric chemistries, the combination of polymers with other organic–inorganic materials, and innovations in the fabrication of porous carbon nanostructures have made use of new functional materials in new and advanced areas.
This Special Issue invites original research articles and review articles in the field of advanced porous polymeric materials and nanoporous carbons showcasing developments in the field. The issue intends to showcase the newer fabrication method, new materials, and blends/hybrids of materials with an improved performance over existing benchmark material from the relevant applications. Strategies to enhance target application operating windows through the improved properties of porous materials are of interest as well, e.g., methods to tune the pore diameter, pore density, surface pattern, or uniform pore geometry.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
