Dear Colleagues,

A special issue of Nanomaterials will discuss “New Developments in Nanomaterial Analysis.” Both the development of new instrumentation and the application of established characterization techniques to the nanometer realm are of interest, as they advance the studies of nanomaterials. Topics can include characterization, analysis, modeling, and modification studies on various types of nanomaterials, including organic, inorganic, hybrid, and biological ones. We invite submissions of original research articles or comprehensive reviews on, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Novel characterization techniques applied to nanomaterials
• Scanning probe microscopy, including scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and near-field optical microscopy, of nanomaterials
• Electron microscopy, including transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and low energy electron microscopy, of nanomaterials
• Optical studies, including fluorescence and single-molecule techniques, of nanomaterials
• X-ray microscopy and spectroscopy of nanomaterials
• Nanoparticles used as imaging probes
• Modeling nanomaterials
• Manipulating and modifying nanomaterials

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.
