Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials are a series of materials with nanoscale dimensions, including but not limited to nanoparticles, nanowires, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, which often have special physicochemical properties, including high electrical conductivity, chemical and thermal stability, high surface body ratio, etc. Nanotechnology involves many disciplines, including physics, chemistry, materials science, information science and advanced manufacturing, aiming to produce products that meet the needs through the design of appropriate technological approaches, combined with the special physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials, so as to facilitate people's lives. With the continuous development of nanomaterials and the innovation of nanofabrication technology, sensing elements with different working mechanisms have made remarkable progress in the past decade, especially in the field of personalized health monitoring and clinical diagnosis. At the same time, the combination of traditional medical detection methods (e.g., X-ray, B-mode ultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance) and new specific nanomaterials has provided a new breakthrough for clinical continuous medical monitoring. On the other hand, advanced nanomaterials and nanotechnology can transform passive health diagnosis and treatment ways into active health monitoring services, which can effectively improve the cure rate of diseases and is an important way to ensure people's life and health. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to showcase current research papers, short newsletters, and review articles on nanomaterials and nanotechnology in personalized health care and clinical diagnosis, including but not limited to theoretical innovations, process optimization, performance assurance methods, and application extensions.

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. Micromachines 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).
