Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues，
Porous polymers are materials with rich microstructures and have wide application prospects in the fields of catalysis, adsorption, separation, drug delivery and release, and sensing due to their unique pore structure, different skeleton charge characteristics, and adjustable surface hydrophobicity. Porous polymers have the following advantages: 1) open pore structure; 2) good physical and chemical stability; 3) diversity of organic blocks; and 4) different structures and functions can be obtained by means of functional group modification or synthesis condition control. However, it is a major challenge for chemists and material scientists to design and control the size, shape, spatial uniformity, and atomic and molecular composition of nano or functional porous materials.
This Special Issue aims to cover recent progress and trends in the design, synthesis, and applications of porous materials in the new field. Submissions are welcome but not limited to the topics listed below. Types of contributions to this Special Issue can be full research articles, short communications, and reviews focusing on porous polymers.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Porous structure design;
- Characterization and improvement of pore structure integrity;
- Novel preparation techniques;
- Characterization of morphology and structure;
- Catalysis;
- Mechanical properties;
- Thermal analysis;
- Mass transport characterization;
- Application of the porous materials in new fields.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
