Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medicinal plants are natural raw materials. Since ancient times, these herbal materials have been commonly used as herbal drugs, food products, and cosmetics. The phyto-molecules isolated from medicinal plants are in high demand, specifically in the pharmaceutical industry. However, these phyto-molecules have the limitations of low absorption, high toxicity, side effects, bioavailability, and low efficacy. These limitations may be overcome using nano-technological tools.
Today, various nano-materials are designed and prepared for nanomedicine, such as polymer-coated nano-drugs, metal nano-particles, nano-carriers, nano-emulsions, solid lipid Nps , hydrogel, and semiconducting nano-materials. The applications of nano-materials overcome several limitations of traditional medicine, including short circulation time, serious side effects, and low bioavailability. Accordingly, the great success of nano-technology is allowing for a tremendous revolution in the biomedical field. Various therapeutic nano-platforms have been developed with therapeutic functions and intellectual properties.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
The green synthesis of nano-materials, metal nano-particles, polymer-coated nano-particles, surface-modified nano-particles for phyto-compound delivery, in vitro and in vivo screening in various diseases, and their biomedical and environmental applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Coatings 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.
