Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been growing interest in interdisciplinary research. The advent of new findings from this interdisciplinary research on different biomolecules and materials is not only a source of new scientific knowledge, but it has also enabled their chemical modification, which is critical for numerous applications. In this context, to date, understanding the properties and structure of biomolecules could be crucial for the development of therapeutics, drug discovery, biomolecule-based composites, and nanostructures for different biomedical applications. On the other hand, the design of new materials can serve the interest of a modern, sustainable, and green society.
Within the framework of the above overview, in this Special Issue on “Understanding the Thermodynamics and Structures of Materials and Biomolecular Systems”, we welcome and look forward to receiving valuable contributions on research focused on the structure, thermodynamics, dynamics, and energetics of materials and biomolecules. Our objective is to compile a comprehensive collection of original research articles, short communications, and review articles that are aimed at applications and advancements in this area of research.

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. Entropy 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.
