High Dielectric Constant Nanoparticles

Dear Colleagues,

High dielectric constant nanoparticles are an important emerging technology that allow us to significantly improve performance and functionality of future electronic devices as sensors, electro-optical devices, thermistors and multi-layer ceramic capacitors. Additionally, the importance of the technology related with energy efficiency and saving has been emphasized increasingly. For instance, novel dielectric nanocomposites of ferroelectric polymers and surface-functionalized high-K nanoparticles with comparable dielectric permittivities and homogeneous nanoparticle dispersions have been reported the enhancement of energy density for high density electrical energy storage.

In this special issue, we will cover a wide range of this research topic from the various chemical synthesis and manufacturing techniques of high-K nanoparticles to their chemical/physical/optical properties, characterization methods and applications.

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.
