Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
This Special Issue in the Nanomaterials journal aimed at exploring the creation and utilization of novel forms of materials and coatings from a multidisciplinary point of view. It seeks to be a leading issue in the area of smart materials, sensing, and coating technologies, publishing the most important results from different regions of the world. The results may be as disparate as the development of new materials and/or composite coatings, derived using theoretical predictions to complex structural systems, which generate new capabilities by incorporating enabling new smart material transducers. These systems are examined from the nanoscale to macroscopic levels.

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.
