Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have established themselves as an important research focus in advanced biomedical applications due to their exclusive chemical and physical properties. Their unique physicochemical properties, such as size-dependent superparamagnetism enabling non-invasive manipulation, precisely controllable surface chemistry permitting targeted functionalization, and inherent capacity for multimodal integration, underpin their paradigm-shifting applications in precision medicine, particularly in magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis, magnetic-guided drug delivery, tumor magnetic hyperthermia, and photothermal therapy.
This Special Issue will highlight cutting-edge scientific advances and innovative theories in the development and application of multifunctional MNPs. It will cover fundamental principles, material innovations, synthesis and surface functionalization strategies, material performance optimization techniques, integrated diagnosis and treatment strategies, and the integration of magnetic hyperthermia with other therapeutic strategies. We aim to explore the unique characteristics of new magnetic materials and their applications in biomedical fields.
We are particularly interested in and invite colleagues to submit original research articles that will fit, but are not limited to, one of the topics listed below:
- Research and development of novel magnetic nanomaterials for hyperthermia, drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis, and photothermal therapy;
- Principle and mechanism of magnetothermal conversion, photothermal conversion, targeted drug delivery, and magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis;
- Numerical simulation and calculation, including the calculation of magnetic properties, micromagnetic simulation, simulation and optimization of temperature fields in hyperthermia, modeling and simulation of drug delivery systems, etc.;
- Multi-technology integration strategies, such as the combination of cancer diagnosis and treatment, combination therapies of magnetic hyperthermia with other cancer treatments, and the combination of hyperthermia and controlled drug release;
- Challenges in the promotion of clinical applications, such as material safety and biocompatibility, the optimization and innovation of magnetic field technology, and regulatory and safety considerations in clinical applications.
Short communications, reviews, and original research articles are encouraged. We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

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. Magnetochemistry 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 2200 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.
