Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanobubble 2026 continues to serve as the premier global forum for advancing the fundamental understanding and practical applications of nanobubbles (also known as ultrafine bubbles according to ISO/TC 281) and nanodroplets.
Nanobubbles are defined as cavities of gases with diameter < 200 nm in aqueous solutions. Industrial application of nanobubbles has exponentially increased over the past two decades due to their reactivity and stability, compared with macro- and microbubbles. Due to the size, they have high specific surface areas and high stagnation times, which increases mass transport efficiencies, physical absorptions, and chemical reactions at the gas–liquid interfaces. Moreover, these bubbles have long residence time in solutions and electrically charged surfaces. Due to the above, nanobubbles have many industrial applications such as manufacturing of functional materials, soil and sediment decontamination, pharmaceutical delivery, enhanced food production and disinfection of food products.

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. Clean Technologies 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 1800 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.
