Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology plays important roles in many areas of our economy, especially in biomedical applications and other products of interest such as electronic devices. While on the one hand nanotechnology should improve our quality of life, its inadvertent release in ecosystems, either from the degradation of plastic polymers or through pollution, could produce negative impacts on our ecosystems.
The present Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to present current state-of-the-art studies in all fields of nanoecotoxicology to refine our understanding of the potential risks posed by these special materials. The toxicity of nanomaterials not only results from the breakdown products of small molecules, but also from the size/form of the nanomaterials and their surface properties (which can influence their behavior in various environments), their reactivity, and their capacity to act as vectors (i.e., the capacity to adsorb/bind various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals). In the present Special Issue, we invite contributions from leading groups in the field with the aim of giving a balanced view of the current state-of-the-art in this discipline.

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.
