Dyes and Pigments

Dyes and Pigments is an international journal on the dyes, pigments and their intermediates. It publishes papers on all aspects of the scientific and technical of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates.

Dyes and Pigments aims to interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis and structure, sensors, medical research, polymers, renewable energy (solar cells), etc. Submissions on the properties of the coloring matters are particularly welcomed.

The Journal publishes topics including:

• Synthesis and characterization of dyes, pigments and intermediate.

• Physical or chemical properties of dyes, pigments and intermediate, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution and solid-state characteristics.

• Physical aspects of dyes, pigments and intermediate preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between color and chemical constitution.

• Deal with the more fundamental aspects of colorant application and of the interactions of colorants with substrates or media.

The Journal does not accept submissions on:

• Dye degradation by catalysts or photocatalysts including the evaluation of new catalysts using dye degradation as an example, dye removal, or dye wastewater remediation

• Inorganic colorants, inorganic pigments, inorganic sensors in general and particularly those in the areas of inorganic ‘cool’ / ‘reflective’ pigments, inorganic luminophores / phosphors and inorganic pigments / glazes for ceramics. Submissions which predominantly report incremental advances to the subject field will not normally be considered.
