Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The separation of molecules from a complex matrix is one of the most challenging processes and is the pivot for most analytical processes. Nanomaterials (NMs)-based processes and separation techniques have been successfully applied exploiting their nanoscale size, high area/volume ratio, unique surface functionalization properties, durability, reusability, etc. Carbon-compound nanomaterials (CNMs), silica, polymeric NPs, metallic or metal oxide, magnetic NPs, and metal-organic frameworks are the most commonly used NMs in diverse separation platforms. This relatively new field has shown future promise to overcome various challenges of convention separation techniques; nevertheless, the commercial utility of NP-based separation platforms is poor, mostly due to failure of reproducibility. The development of new nanomaterials pertaining to the different properties of NPs will certainly assist in the standardization of these techniques to improve laboratory and industrial applications. The challenge is applying chromatographic techniques with new supports and making methods reproducible by coupling the techniques with new, increasingly sensitive detectors (e.g., MS).

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.
