Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Materials science continues to be a driving force behind innovation across various fields, ranging from sensing, energy storage, and biomedicine to electronics and sustainability. This special issue invites cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that showcase the latest achievements in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of advanced materials. Particular attention is given to molecular-level understanding and interdisciplinary approaches that unveil new functionalities, enhance performance, and enable scalable solutions. Topics include—but are not limited to—nanomaterials, functional polymers, bio-inspired systems, complex intelligent and responsive materials, as well as sustainable materials innovations. The special issue welcomes submissions dealing with theoretical modeling and practical implementation strategies, too. Its aim is to foster collaboration among physicists, chemists, engineers, and biologists, encouraging a fruitful exchange of ideas that opens new horizons in materials science.

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. 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.
