Dear, Colleagues,

The special issue "Conference on Nanomaterials 2011" will contain original articles on contributions to the Zing Nanomaterials Conference 2011 in Cancun, Mexico (http://www.zingconferences.com/index.cfm?page=conference&intConferenceID=62&type=conference). Nanomaterials related topics will span from synthesis and characteristion of nanomaterials to their application and modelling. The conference will actively foster the dialogue between experimentalists and theoreticians. Contributions may include, but are not limited to, issues as diverse as nanocrystal nucleation and growth, synthesis methods, surfaces and surface ligands, physical properties of nanomaterials (optical, magnetic, electrical, etc.), catalytic nanomaterials, graphene, applications in the areas of bioimaging, drug delivery, energy conversion and others, as well as the modelling of all of these aspects.

Submission

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. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as 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 refereed through a 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 quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. For the first couple of issues the Article Processing Charge (APC) will be waived for well-prepared manuscripts. English correction and/or formatting fees of 250 CHF (Swiss Francs) will be charged in certain cases for those articles accepted for publication that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections.
