Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is related to the current and novel applications of green chemistry and green engineering in the field of pharmaceutics. Twelve green principles developed during the 20th century inspired researchers worldwide to investigate and make efforts in realizing new knowledge and new inventions, designs and applications of products and processes fitting the concept of green chemistry and with the potential to be implemented by the modern pharmaceutical and cometic industry. The evidence shows that steps forward in industrial application have been made, but more green innovations are needed to push it more intensively. The same task has brought together scientists and industry in the new network framed in the COST Action 18224—Greenering—Green Chemical Engineering Network towards Upscaling Sustainable Processes. In accordance with that, this Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research manuscripts or reviews concerning the development of novel processes (high-pressure processes, processes applying green solvents, green particle engineering and green synthesis) and pharmaceutic products with respect to the green concept.

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. Pharmaceutics 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 2900 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.
