Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The leakage of oil and the treatment of industrial wastewater are worldwide problems. Special wettability stimulated materials (superhydrophobic and superoleophilic, superhydrophilic and under water superoleophobic, superhydrophilic and superoleophobic) have shown great potentials in the treatment of oil-and-water mixtures. Understanding the key factors (chemical composition and micro-geometrical structure of the surface) of the surface wettability are known to enhance the performance of the oil-water separation material. Biomimitic design and smart material (stimuli-responsive material, shape memory material, etc) with switchable wettability are significance on the oil-water separation for different demands.
This Special Issue look forward to any novel stretagy or developments for fabricating oil-water separation material with some excellent performance (seperation/ absorption efficiency, recyclability, durability, etc) or can be put into use in the near future.

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.
