Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as a cornerstone of molecular materials science due to their distinctive size-dependent magnetic, structural, and surface properties. Their molecular-level functionalization enables tunable behavior, offering remarkable versatility for biomedical, chemical, and environmental applications. This Special Issue focuses on recent progress in the synthesis, molecular design, and multifunctional integration of magnetic nanoparticles, highlighting their expanding role in targeted drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), molecular diagnostics, catalysis, magnetic sensing, energy storage, and environmental remediation.
We invite original research articles and in-depth reviews addressing novel synthesis strategies, biofunctionalization methods, surface molecular interactions, magnetocaloric effects, nanocomposite fabrication, and hybrid magnetic–molecular systems. Contributions that emphasize molecular-level structure–property relationships, interdisciplinary innovations, and translational applications in medicine and biotechnology are especially welcome.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Krishtappa Manjunatha
Guest Editor
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.
