Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ability to finely manipulate matter at the nanometer level has opened up a new field of knowledge called "nanoscience and nanotechnology". The control of the size, structure, composition and morphology of inorganic, organic and hybrid nanostructures and nanocomposites allows us to compile, so to speak, a new periodic table of elements, still largely unexplored. Although scientists are studying them intensively, nanostructured materials have very large potential, and there is still ample room for both fundamental and applied research. Such investigations are strongly stimulated by the wide range of possible applications for the developed materials, which include smart food packaging, innovative devices for energy production and storage, flexible and economical mobile phone screens, new diagnostic techniques for IoT medicine, more efficient thermal insulation materials for buildings, distributed sensors for flammable and dangerous gases, the elimination of pollutants in water, prosthetics with longer life, smart drug delivery, among others.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to gather the latest results in modeling, simulation, synthesis, advanced characterization and potential applications of nanostructured materials, leading to a more eco-sustainable world.
Topics will include, but are not limited to:
- The modeling, simulation and characterization of nanomaterials;
- Innovative preparation routes for nanomaterials with tailored spatial organization;
- Environmental monitoring;
- Healthcare;
- Food quality assessment;
- Sensing and biosensing devices;
- Energy harvesting, storage and conversion;
- Functional and smart materials;
- Recycling and renewable resources.
We encourage the submission of reviews, mini-reviews, original articles and short communications highlighting the potential of nanomaterials to improve the environment and human life.

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.
