Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as a highly versatile class of nanomaterials with applications spanning biomedicine, environmental remediation, catalysis, and energy-related technologies. Their unique magnetic behavior, size-dependent properties, and surface tunability enable advanced functionalities in drug delivery systems, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), hyperthermia treatment, targeted separation, and nanoscale sensing. Ongoing research has increasingly focused on the rational design of MNPs and magnetic nano(bio)hybrids, emphasizing structure–property relationships and multifunctionality. This Special Issue aims to bring together recent advances in the synthesis, functionalization, characterization, and applications of magnetic nanoparticles, highlighting innovative strategies that bridge fundamental studies with real-world applications. By showcasing interdisciplinary contributions, this collection underscores the fundamental role of magnetic nanomaterials in addressing global challenges through technological innovation and sustainable solutions.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Synthesis and design of magnetic nanoparticles;
- Structural, dynamic, and functional characterization of magnetic nanoparticles;
- Multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles, including (bio)organic nanoassemblies and nano(bio)hybrids;
- Structure–property relationships in magnetic nanoparticles and nano(bio)hybrids;
- Theory, statistical mechanics, and computer simulations;
- Nanomagnetism and advances in life science applications;
- Magnetic nanomaterials for environmental and energy-related applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
