Synthesis and Characterization of Nanoparticles Volume II: Organic Aspects

Dear Colleagues,

Nanoparticles have recently gained increased attention due to their peculiar properties. Besides their size, also their chemical nature plays a pivotal role. For this reason, recently, an increasing attention is being paid to organic-based nanoparticles, which are triggering a huge number of novel applications.

The main focus of this Special Issue will be to point out the progresses on the organic-based nonoparticles from the experimental point of view as well as from the theoretical one, including computational aspects and modeling. Research articles, with special emphasis to results obtained in the last five years, are welcome, as well as review articles on emerging fields.

Potential topics therefore include (but are not limited to):

• Structural characterizations
• Magnetic behavior
• Core-shell organic nanostructures
• Computational structure optimization
• Modelling
• structure–properties relationships
• New applications
• New Methods for synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles
• Emerging field of organic nanoparticles
• Surface functionalization
• Hybrid nanoparticles
• Properties of interfaces between different materials
• Drug and gene delivery
• Organic Nanocomparticles for biomedical applications
• Inter-molecular self-assembly
• Soft nanoparticles
• Dendrimers

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
