Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The success of an analytical method mainly relies on sample pre-treatment and separation methods design. Owing to the advance of material science, a variety of micro/nano-materials, such as metal and metal oxide particles, has been generated and applied in different research fields, being suitable substrates for the development of effective analytical methods in sample pre-treatment and separation for trace analytes from complex samples. This Special Issue aims to present studies regarding the use of micro- and nano-materials for sample pre-treatment and separation for chemical and biochemical analysis applications. The detection tools can be the naked eye, optical spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, etc.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Micro/nano-material-based analytical methods;
- Micro/nano-material-based affinity methods;
- Micro/nano-material-based solid-phase extraction/solid-phase microextraction;
- Micro/nano-material-based separation methods;
- Studies of interactions between micro/nano-materials and target species;
- Synthesis and application of nanocomposites in sample preparation and separation;
- Studies on the mechanism of adsorption and desorption of target species on nanomaterials.

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. Separations 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 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.
