Dear Colleagues,

The research field on inorganic nanomaterials has been yielding increasingly complex architectures and demonstrating a plethora of novel application possibilities. Thus, even in the case of the construction of nanomaterials for cancer treatment, which initially was mostly considered as the area fitted for organic types of materials (e.g. polymers or liposomes), there have been huge breakthroughs in demonstrating the applicability of inorganic nanoparticles for cancer treatment and diagnostics. Such nanomaterials may encompass functionalized gold, silver, silica, organosilica, silicon, magnetite and other metal oxides, diamond, hydroxyapatite, and further types of inorganic nanoparticles that may benefit as the sole drug carrier, or in the form of more complex nanoarchitectures composed of different types of nanoparticles, for more efficient cancer treatment and diagnostics. This Special Issue aims to highlight the compositional, morphological, and functional diversity of the inorganic nanoparticles for applications in the construction of novel, smart nanoassemblies for targeting, selective treatment, and diagnosis of cancer.

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. Inorganics 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 2700 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.
