Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to contribute to this Special Issue by exchanging your achievements in the research on “Electrospun Nanofibers: From Design to Applications”.
Recent decades have seen the research, development, and applications of nanomaterials offer novel and outstanding properties based on their nanosize and composition. In this context, nanocomposites consisting of nanocomponents, typically in a polymeric or ceramic matrix, have been heavily investigated. Such nanocomposites possess outstanding properties and are particularly interesting for a multitude of different functional applications.
The aim of this Special Issue, “Electrospun Nanofibers: From Design to Applications”, is to publish original research articles in areas related to the development and modification of new nanomaterials as well as recycled nanomaterials and their application possibilities. Research in the field of any kind of composite nanomaterials will result in the improvement of the mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, acoustic, and thermal properties of the nanomaterials, as well as the understanding of the interrelationship between the composition, structure, and properties of a material. Contributions that use the methods of multi-criteria analysis for comparing products containing nanomaterials and their functionality with a focus on environmental, technological, and economic aspects and impacts will also be greatly appreciated.
We welcome review and experimental articles related to various advanced nanomaterials to encourage the dissemination of scientific knowledge through this open-access journal.
Some of the potential topics for submissions include, but are not limited to:
- Electrospun nanofibers/mats and their synthesis, characterization, and modification;
- Mechanical design, such as constitutive modeling, multi-scale modeling, stiffness, static strength, fatigue, buckling stability, progressive damage behavior, etc.;
- Advanced equipment for manufacturing of the nanofibers/mats;
- Engineering applications, such as composite nano products, high-performance materials, design and evaluation methods, etc.;
- Thermal degradation of polymeric nanofibers/mats;
- Electrospun nanofibers/mats containing composites.

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. Materials 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 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.
