Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic materials have been widely applied in various areas. Many materials, espescially in form of magnetics nanoparticles (MNPs) have potential for use in a number of biomedical applications as drug localization and magnetic hyperthermia to gene transfection and targeted therapeutics, or as a component of tissue engineering scaffolds or coatings of biomaterials/devices. Many paramagnetic rare-earth metal ions such as e.g., Gd3+ possess a large magnetic moment due to their isotropic electronic ground state. Because of exellent magnetic resonance imaging effect observed for these ions they are used as a common MRI contranst agent. Ferromagnetic particles with large magnetic responce range are suitable for the fabrication of flexible magnetic field sensors used in human health monitoring, electronic skin, and human motion detection.
The chemical composition and the morphological structures created by magnetic materials have a significant impact on their inducible magnetic moment. These nanoparticles can be produced by many methods, from classical chemical, electrochemical, or physical methods to biological syntheses.
Our Special Issue interest is being paid to the molecular synthesis methods and mechanism, molecular structure characterization of new multifunctional molecular magnetic materials.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
