Nanoparticles: Fabrication, Properties and Biomedical Application

Dear Colleagues,

It is well known that nanoparticles and nanocomposite materials have a very broad applicability in a variety of fields. Bionanomaterials are used in specific fields, such as medical, biological, electrical, mechanical, and energetics. The speed with which these materials develop makes it necessary to constantly update information related to new types of materials with specific properties for nanotechnological applications in general, as well as for particular bioapplications.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a recent overview of bionanomaterials, their distinct types, synthesis procedures, and new and/or specific properties and characteristics, which are essential for desired bioapplications. Therefore, we propose as main objective a broad interdisciplinary discussion related to the synthesis and characterization of bionanomaterials from both application and fundamental points of view. There will be a special interest for new preparation methods of multifunctional composite hybrid materials, new and/or improved properties of these materials, as well as innovative applications.

We invite manuscripts that focus on a wide range of issues and concerns regarding bionanomaterials including synthesis, specific properties, and biomedical application, but not limited to this.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
