Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nanomaterials are of greater importance in the economy and human life. They are used not only in engineering, construction, but also in agriculture, medicine, cosmetology, recreation and many other areas. Therefore, organic compounds, inorganic substances and their hydrides are used to create nanomaterials. Depending on the method and conditions of synthesis and the substrates used, the grain size of the obtained substances, and the surface, we obtain a number of compounds with various properties and, therefore, application possibilities. Sometimes it is enough to change the grain size of a given compound to change its properties and therefore its application. Such a variety of compounds allows for the production of nanomaterials that are more durable and resistant to environmental factors. However, on the one hand, they allow for the development of a given field, on the other hand, they can pose a threat to humans and the environment. Knowledge in this field is therefore of key importance for the further development of nanomaterials and the construction of tools allowing the development of the best available techniques, energy-saving and material-saving.
It should also be remembered that, depending on the application, they must meet certain requirements in terms of physicochemical properties, as well as legal and waste management.

The purpose of this special issue is to bring together the current views of materials scientists, physicists, chemists and chemical engineers as well as biologists, pharmacologists and others who are active on a wide range of the topics discussed above. We are pleased to invite authors to submit original research papers, reviews, short messages and concept papers.

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.

Silicone resins are widely applied as coating materials due to their unique properties, especially those related to very good heat resistance. The most important effect on the long-term heat resistance of the coating is connected with the type of resin. Moreover, this structure is stabilized by a chemical reaction between the hydroxyl groups from the organoclay and the silicone resin. The novel trends in application of silicone resins in intumescent paints used mostly for protection of steel structures against fire will be presented based on literature review. Some examples of innovative applications for fire protection of other materials will be also presented. The effect of silicone resin structure and the type of filler used in these paints on the properties of the char formed during the thermal decomposition of the intumescent paint will be discussed in detail. The most frequently used additives are expanded graphite and organoclay. It has been demonstrated that silicate platelets are intercalated in the silicone matrix, significantly increasing its mechanical strength and resulting in high protection against fire. Full article
