Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart materials are a class of materials capable of self-respond to various stimuli such as mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical, and chemical. Due to its properties, it is the ideal material for developing next-generation transducers. On the other hand, thanks to the advanced synthesis and micro-nano fabrication process, nanomaterials with different morphologies, including quantum dot, nanoparticle, nanotube, and 2D materials exhibit outstanding physio-chemical functionalities, are developed and exhibit attractive physical/chemical properties in both fundamental research and novel applications. The combination of the two emerging types of materials brings into nanomaterials adapted sensing/actuating technologies, which not only improve the performance of the transducers but also create more functions, especially in chemical, biological, and environmental research. This trend of integrating nanotechnology into smart materials will continuously benefit the transducer field and will significantly improve our daily life in the future.
The current Special Issue on Nanomaterials is aimed at presenting the state-of-the-art research of smart nanomaterials and their applications in various fields. This includes the new method of preparing smart nanomaterials, improved device performance benefits from the smart nanomaterials and novel applications in various fields. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles covering the current progress and providing the view of the cutting-edge technologies.

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.
