Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enabling technology consists of traditional or new techniques whose purpose is to speed up synthetic transformations and workup procedures for the isolation of products. In this framework, flow chemistry, 3D printing devices, and microwave techniques have been rapidly established as essential enabling technologies, not only for academic research but also in industrial chemistry laboratories.
In the last few years, the combination of two or more of these enabling technologies has allowed procedures for the synthesis of target molecules to be sped up and simplified. Synthetic chemists have started to interact and collaborate with chemical engineers to design and build new equipment and devices. From this collaboration and thanks to these enabling technologies, the efficiency of the underlying processes was enhanced, with optimization of the setup process itself. There is no doubt that these enabling technologies will continue to have a strong impact upon the chemical sciences going forward.
For this Special Issue, researchers are invited to submit original research papers related to recent advancement in technology-driven organic synthesis. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Microwave-mediated reactions;
- Micro- and mesofluidic reactors;
- Photocatalysis;
- Deep eutectic solvents;
- Flow chemistry and catalysis;
- 3D printing technology;
- New heating systems;

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
