Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The latest trends in nanoparticle research are aimed at correlating the nanoparticle morphology and function. For example, the asymmetry of Janus nanoparticles endows these amphiphilic properties, and capability to partition at interfaces, self-assemble into suprastructures, emulsify or function as unidirectional nanomotors, etc. But there are numerous other examples of functionality that arises from the morphological design of the nanoparticles, for example in nanoparticle catalysis, in drug delivery systems, or nanoparticles used as technology enablers for designing nanostructured materials, interfaces and composites. The special issue Morphological Design and Synthesis of Nanoparticles is aimed at capturing a glimpse of the latest developments in the synthetic strategies of nanoparticles with unique morphologies that endows them with special functions, spanning a broad field of applications, from biology to catalysis, optoelectronics and beyond. This special issue is dedicated to promoting advances in synthetic strategies of nanoparticles with unique morphologies, design of materials derived from use of (multi-)functional nanoparticles, physicochemical investigations of phenomena arising from such nanoparticles, devices incorporating these nanoparticles as active ingredients, and new applications. We are looking forward to your contribution and hope that together we can unlock inspiring new perspectives and boost the interdisciplinary collaboration in this field.
