Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
From the 4th to 7th September 2022 in Ascea (Italy), “The V International Summer School on Cyclodextrins, advances in cyclodextrin chemistry and applications” will be held, where graduate students, Ph.D. students, post-doc students, young and senior researchers interested in all the aspects of cyclodextrin chemistry and applications will share their knowledge and learn about this topic. Cyclic oligosaccharides, discovered by Antoine Villiers in 1891, have had great scientific repercussions; although, in the beginning, the main function of this ring was to encapsulate in its interior compounds that, due to size or interaction, were stabilized in its hydrophobic cavity. However, different researchers have been modifying them to overcome this limitation and reach different applications. This is why they have found a great reception in the current scientific field, with innumerable applications in fields as disparate as pharmacology, food, energy or nuclear science, with more than 21,500 publications in the last 10 years (ISI web of science). This Special Issue is about the current state-of-the-art of systems of cyclodextrin chemistry and application in different fields, providing useful dissemination of the latest information. The Special Issue covers several aspects, from synthesis and characterization to application.

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. Materials 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 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.
