Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials are the leading material and structures in use. This is due to their unique properties, such as high strength, toughness, electrical, thermal conductivity, and mechanical property. The combination of these specific features makes nanomaterials attractive for a broad spectrum of applications in different strategic sectors, namely, aerospace, automotive, mold, tribology, mechanical, and structural industries, among others. Molecular dynamics simulation brings the most significant papers concerned with applications of simulation in nanostructures and nanomaterials, and original contributions to the development of simulation methodology from engineering, materials science, and physics.
The goal of this Special Issue is to cover all aspects of research related to, or of importance to, molecular modeling and simulation of nanomaterials. Original contributions dealing with the effects of manufacturing strategies, chemical composition, microstructure, environmental conditions, machine learning (ML), and loading history on mechanical behavior of nanomaterials and two-dimensional (2D) materials are encouraged. Molecular dynamics, quasi-continuum methods, and related numerical approaches are accepted.
In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Graphene and related 2D materials;
- Amorphous and nanocrystalline materials;
- Nanocomposite;
- Porous nanomaterials and its applications
- Mechanical property or thermal conductivity of nanostructures and nanomaterials;
- Phase transformations of nanomaterials.

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
