Structural Design and Broad Applications of Functional Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few decades, nanomaterials have progressed significantly, and they have attracted considerable attention due to their outstanding properties and widespread applications. For example, adding nanoparticles can endow coating materials with a higher performance, better corrosion protection function, optical property, etc. Apart from this, nanomaterials also play an important role in the field of energy conversion and storage, electronics and photonics, and biomedicine.

The aim of this Special Issue is to attract manuscripts which study the structure and fabrication techniques of nanomaterials with a wide range of applications. Studies on the properties of nanosized materials, such as mechanical, thermal, magnetic, optical, or electrical conductivity, are also welcome.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

• synthesis;
• organic/inorganic nanocomposites;
• nanoscale coatings;
• mechanical property;
• energy storage/conversion

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
