Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of nanotechnology in past decades, nanomaterials have received tremendous interest from scientific and industrial communities due to their unique optical, electrical, thermal, and magnetic characteristics. Nanocomposites consist of a multiphase where at least one of the dimensions is in the nanometer range (≤ 100nm). Taking material dimensions down to the nanometer level creates completely different phase interfaces compared to a pure matrix or composites above the nanoscale. Hence, novel nanocomposites with enhanced properties can be created by combining different components and designing synthesis methods.
We are delighted to announce this Special Issue with a focus on the cutting-edge field of nanocomposites in Crystals. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for scholars and researchers from around the globe to present their latest advancements, discoveries, and insights in the exciting realm of nanocomposite materials. We invite researchers, scientists, and academicians from around the world to contribute their original research articles, review papers, or communications to show all aspects of remarkable progress being made in the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanocomposites. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Synthesis methods and techniques for nanocomposites;
- Characterization and evaluation of nanocomposite structures;
- Applications of nanocomposites in energy storage and conversion;
- Nanocomposites for electronic devices and sensors;
- Biomedical applications of nanocomposite materials;
- Emerging trends and future directions in nanocomposite 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. Crystals 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.
