Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sample preparation plays a vital role prior to qualitative and quantitative analysis of trace analytes in complicated matrix samples. Nowadays, the extraction performance of sample preparation techniques, including solid-phase extraction (SPE), micro-solid-phase extraction (μ-SPE), dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE), solid-phase microextraction (SPME), stir bar sorptive microextraction (SBSME), thin-film microextraction (TFME), and others, largely depends on the properties of the sorbents. Nanoporous polymer-based composites and their derivatives present outstanding adsorption capacities when capturing targeted compounds owing to their large specific areas, high porosities, and tunable chemical structures. Therefore, various nanoporous composites based on polymers and their derivatives have been developed as sorbents and extensively applied in food, environmental, pharmaceutical, and biological analysis during the past years. Nevertheless, novel nanoporous composites need to be further explored to improve the extraction capacities and selectivity of analytes from complex samples. Herein, studies on the preparation of novel nanoporous polymer-based composites and their derivatives used as sorbents for sample preparation are of interest for this Special Issue. In addition, studies on pollutant removal from environmental matrices based on advanced nanoporous composites are also invited.

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. Polymers 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.
