Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials on “Advanced Nanoscale Bactericidity” is devoted to the ambitious search for emerging efficient nano-enabled agents, counterfeiting the antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacterial micro-organisms in a highly targeted, smart manner at the nanoscale. This problem should be definitively and quickly solved to save lives, focusing on a variety of aspects—chemical, physical, microbiological, etc. Moreover, innovative nanomaterials—colloidal nanoparticles, nanotextures etc.—and nano-treatment procedures are rapidly emerging to enable this service, promising highly focused, facile high-tech applications without pronounced side effects. This issue will present a synergistic collection of innovative research studies and their results, which could in the near future pave the way to emerging, pioneering key enabling approaches to antibacterial treatment and anti-fouling protection.

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.
