Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, nanomaterials may be processed in myriad of shapes and topologies using chemical or physical processes that are now routine, and available to researchers and materials process engineers. The ever-growing interest in controlling dimension, shape, chemistry and crystallography accrues primarily from the properties of nanomaterials being controlled by all these factors. Among all the shapes 1D nanostructures (1DNS), nanowires (NW), nanotubes (NT) and nanorods (NR) outstand with unique properties that arise from their specific structural anisotropy. Depending on the nature of the material, organic, inorganic, oxide, semiconductor, or metal, the applications of 1D NS span a wide range from bio-sensing to field effect emitters. Single walled carbon nanotubes and Si-NWs were widely reported in the literature as field effect transistors for label-free sensing of biomolecules, and 1D ZnO NS are potential candidates for a variety of sensing applications and as field emitters for microscopy.
This special issue of “Nanomaterials” will specifically address new developments and emerging applications of 1DNS. We invite research papers and reviews on the following topics:
- Noble metal 1DNS for electrocatalysis and biomedical applications
- Oxide and semiconductor 1DNS for photocatalysis and sensing applications
- Polymeric 1DNS materials for wettability control and other applications

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
