Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional nanoparticles have emerged as key building blocks in modern materials science, offering unprecedented control over composition, structure, and performance at the nanoscale. This Special Issue, “Research in Nanotechnology and Interface Engineering of Nanomaterials”, aims to highlight recent progress in the design, synthesis, characterization, and practical deployment of functional nanoparticles across a wide range of scientific and technological fields.
We welcome contributions that report innovative and sustainable synthesis approaches, including chemical, physical, and green methodologies, as well as comprehensive studies on structural, optical, electronic, magnetic, catalytic, and mechanical properties. Particular emphasis will be placed on understanding how precise nanoscale engineering translates into enhanced performance in real-world applications such as biomedicine, drug delivery, catalysis, energy storage and conversion, environmental remediation, sensing, and smart materials.
This Special Issue seeks to provide an interdisciplinary platform that connects fundamental research with application-driven innovation. We encourage the submission of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that address emerging trends, current challenges, and future opportunities in the field of functional nanoparticles.
By bringing together state-of-the-art developments, this Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between controlled nanoscale synthesis and practical implementation, accelerating the integration of advanced functional nanoparticles into next-generation technologies that address global societal needs.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
