Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gold is a solid, unreactive, highly stable transition metal that is defined as a noble element. Gold does not undergo tarnishing (chemical oxidation).
The use of gold nanoparticles has emerged and is expanding in different topics related to chemistry, imaging, and medicine. In general, gold is prepared as colloidal suspensions in water and used in research applications in other areas, such as medicine, biology, and material sciences.
Gold nanoparticles are easy to synthesize and functionalize, and possess unique chemical and physical properties that can also be used in transporting medicines for precise delivery to their target.
This Special Issue will cover the recent advances in the field of nanomaterials using gold.
It will include topics related to:
Biophysics: biosensors, optical, and electrochemical sensing.
Chemistry: functionalization, catalysis of organic reactions.
Imaging: X-rays, optical applications, labeling, and spectroscopy.
Medicine: diagnostics, gene delivery, drug delivery, radiotherapy, plasmon, and clinical application.
Synthesis: green technology, functionalization, bioconjugation, and characterization.
Therapy: photothermal, angiogenesis, radiofrequency, and treatment of diseases.
Toxicity: cytotoxicity, animal models.
Please contact the Editor in case you would like to contribute with another topic not included in the list.

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.
