Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing scarcity and instability of land resources in recent years, more and more attention has been paid to marine resources. Ocean-going vessels and modern detection technologies are playing an increasingly important role, with wireless communications, radar systems, and high-frequency-circuit devices becoming crucial in the detection of marine resources as well as in ocean-going navigation. As a result, electromagnetic (EM) interference and electromagnetic compatibility should be taken seriously. In addition, equipment that has long been operating in tropical pelagic areas is at risk of being eroded by high humidity, high temperatures, high salt spray, and high UV rays. Therefore, it is a challenging task to improve the microwave absorbing property of materials and endow them with excellent corrosion inhibition ability, so as to manufacture anti-corrosion microwave absorbing materials with integrated structure and function. Porous materials have large surface–volume ratio, unique electromagnetic wave attenuation function, and strong adsorption capacity, which provides a broad space and opportunity for loading corrosion inhibition active substances, large-scale preparation of wave absorption materials, and environmental protection (adsorption of pollutants). Therefore, porous materials play an important role in microwave absorption (and electromagnetic shielding) and equipment anti-corrosion.
Although various types of porous and nano-wave absorbing magnetic materials have made good progress in corrosion inhibition and electromagnetic pollution prevention, there are still major challenges to be solved. This Special Issue aims at the latest application progress of porous materials in magnetism (electromagnetic shielding), corrosion inhibition, integration of wave absorption and anti-corrosion, and environmental protection. In particular, this includes multifunctional applications, such as electromagnetic absorption/shielding and corrosion protection. We look forward to your research and comments in all fields of magnetism, physics, chemistry, and materials science, especially interdisciplinary research combining different fields. Other relevant studies not mentioned above are also welcome.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
