Special Issue Proposal Application
If you would like to propose a Special Issue topic for this journal, please complete and submit the following form.
Our editors will get back to you shortly. For your Special Issue to form a cohesive article collection, we typically
expect at least ten papers to be published, including research papers, communications, and review articles.
For early career researchers (postdoc researchers/new faculty), we have a Special Issue Mentor Program that allows
you to propose novel ideas for new special issues. Read more about the the Special Issue Mentor Program

Special Issue summary example
Bacterial adhesion and proliferation are serious and increasing concerns in everyday life,
and are responsible for significant damage in several industries, including textile, water
treatment, marine transport, medicine and food packaging. Notwithstanding the enormous efforts
of academic researchers and industry, a general solution for restricting bacterial colonization
remains to be found. Therefore, new strategies for controlling bacteria activity are urgently
needed and nanomaterials constitute a very promising approach. This Special Issue plans to give
an overview of the most recent advances in the field of antibacterial nanomaterials and their
applications in diverse areas. This Special Issue is aimed at providing selected contributions
on advances in the synthesis, characterization, and applications of nanomaterials with regard
to antibacterial activity.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Antimicrobial nanoparticles;
- Antibacterial nanocoatings and nanocomposites;
- Mechanisms of action;
- Antimicrobial food packaging;
- Adverse effects of nanomaterials;
- Future perspectives for antimicrobial nanomaterials;
- Role of antimicrobial nanomaterials in medicine.
