Magnetic Nanohybrids for Advanced Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The magnetic nanohybrid (composite and heterostructures) is a material composed of two or more distinct phases existing in synergy and coupling and, under the term magnetic in magnetic nanohybrids, we understand materials in which at least one of the phases has a long-range magnetic order (ferro-, ferri- or antiferromagnetic) or hybrids of non-magnetic materials with magnetic properties emerging at the interface. Under the scope of this Special Issue are both multimagnetic nanohybrids composed of several magnetic phases (e.g., magnetically soft and hard or ferro- and antiferromagnetic), magnetic phases covered or in some other way hybridized with an organic (polymers, biomolecules, etc.) and/or inorganic (Au, SiO₂, carbon, etc.) non-magnetic counterpart. Examples of such nanohybrids are magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with an organic layer, bi-magnetic core/shell nanoparticles, heterodimeric particles, composite multiferroics, polymer-based nanocomposites, etc.

Over the last decade, considerable efforts have been undertaken by many research groups to develop novel nanohybrids with excellent properties, raising interest regarding their applications in a wide range of different areas in biomedicine, catalysis, rare-Earth-free permanent magnets, multiferroic materials, materials for additive manufacturing (3D printing), etc. In this context, this Special Issue covers all research areas related to the synthesis of magnetic nanohybrids and the investigation of their properties and applications. Thus, this Special Issue aims to collect research articles and reviews regarding, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Synthesis of magnetic nanohybrids;
• Preparation of magnetoactive polymer nanocomposites;
• Magnetic nanocomposites consisting of several inorganic components;
• Functionalized magnetic nanoparticles;
• Biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites;
• Characterization of magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites;
• Magnetic materials for additive manufacturing.

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.
