Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomass materials are high-molecular-weight materials produced by nature, which produces a sustainable development of resources. Biomass resources are mostly produced by plants or animals, such as various natural cellulose, chitin, lignin, polysaccharides, starch, rubber, natural resins, leather, nucleic acids, proteins, etc. The quantity of biomass resources synthesized by plants growing on the Earth every year is as high as 100 billion tons, and the biomass resources produced by animals have an even higher quantity. A variety of functional materials can be synthesized by using biomass resources, such as plant or animal tissue waste through different strategies and approaches. Although the research on biomass materials has been quite extensive, their research and application in food, environmental protection, energy, medicine, biology, and other fields are still worth discussing and paying attention to.
This Special Issue, “Biomass Materials in Materials Chemistry: Preparation and Characterization, 2nd Edition”, welcomes original research and review articles in the field, focusing on the relationship between the synthesis, preparation, and application of biomass-based materials. From agriculture to medicine, and from pharmacology to chemistry, the contributions on these biomass resources in different applications such as catalytic carriers, pharmaceutical carriers, food packaging, thickening agents, etc. are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
