Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) undergo complex interactions and transformations at different points during their lifecycle. These interactions and transformations depend on the physicochemical nature of the ENMs as well as the environment where they are found or released into. These transformations determine ENMs fate, behavior, and properties over time. Therefore, the uniqueness of each ENM’s scenario results in a great deal of complexity.
This Special Issue aims to encourage worldwide researchers to share their scientific and technological knowledge on environmentally relevant nanomaterial behavior and transformations. In this Special Issue, we invite investigators to contribute original research articles, as well as review articles that are related to behavior and transformations of nanomaterials in different environments. We are particularly interested in research that works toward understanding the longer-term effects of nanomaterial transformations both when released into the environment during their use or at the end of their use and also when incorporated in consumer products.

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.
