Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled “Materials and Processes for 3D Nanomanufacturing” aims to deepen the understanding of nanomanufacturing from the perspective of three-dimensional object fabrication. Technological advancements in the field of manufacturing have made downscaling to the nanometric level possible. Operating at the nanometric level requires insights into the foundations of various phenomena. Three-dimensional nanomanufacturing could lead to devices able to operate at the molecular level in the field of sensing, exploiting both nanotailored materials and nanocomponents. At the same time, the possibility of creating nanometric features represents a unique opportunity to mimic natural environments and events with high precision. Moreover, such 3D nanostructuring capability will open the path to quantum technology in the same way vacuum technology did for microelectronics 100 years ago. Many other examples could be mentioned that have attracted the interests of physicians, biologists, physicists, and engineers from different fields.
We are pleased to invite you to divulge your research efforts regarding 3D nanomanufacturing in the present Special Issue. Original research articles and reviews are welcomed. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Nanomanufacturing processes and involved technologies;
- Materials designed for nanomanufacturing processes;
- Materials for the fabrication of three-dimensional nanosized objects;
- Three-dimensional nanodevices or three-dimensional objects integrating nano-sized features;
- Applications of 3D nanomanufacturing.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions as soon as they are ready to be submitted.

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. Nanomanufacturing is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
