Innovative Materials and Nanotechnologies for Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, nanoscience has demonstrated significant potential to revolutionize medical and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the areas of disease diagnosis and treatment.

Constant research into innovative materials and new nanotechnologies has enabled the improvement of drug delivery systems and diagnostic tools. Nanomaterials, graphene, hydrogels, liquid crystals, biodegradable polymers and nanofibres are just some of the key materials driving advances in drug delivery, tissue engineering and more, offering new opportunities for healthcare innovation.

For example, nanoparticles are utilized as versatile tools in drug delivery systems, acting as nanocarriers to transport therapeutic agents to specific target sites within the body. Furthermore, some nanocarriers can be designed to respond to external stimuli, such as changes in temperature, making them particularly effective for thermal therapy.

Nanostructured materials possess remarkable significance in the diagnostic field thanks to their exceptional properties. These materials enable the precise identification of biological substances, even at extremely low concentrations, thus emphasizing their indispensable role in improving diagnostic accuracy.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to investigate the most recent developments in biomedical applications, with a specific emphasis on the crucial role played by nanomaterials and nanotechnologies.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, short communications and reviews are welcome for possible publication.

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.
