Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to invite you to submit a manuscript to Materials for a Special Issue, titled “Functional Magnetic Nanomaterials: From Fabrication to Applications”. Research, review, communication, and perspective papers are welcome for possible publication.
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), made of metal iron oxides, are extremely beneficial in a wide range of industrial and biomedical applications, ranging from catalytic systems, magnetic storage, and photonic as well as electronic devices to biological and biomedical applications. In particular, the preparation of MNPs, mainly made of iron oxides, for both diagnostics (detection, imaging, and biosensing) and therapeutics (hyperthermia, cancer therapy, magnetic targeting, and drug delivery), has occupied a privileged position among other nanocomposites. Due to their nanoscale dimensions, unique physiochemical properties, intrinsic magnetic characteristics, ease of functionalization, colloidal stabilities, and biocompatibilities, MNPs have been thoroughly investigated for biomedical endpoints as magnetic imaging contrast-enhancing probes, hyperthermia agents, and magnetic-guided drug delivery carriers. This research area is vivacious, with promising credentials and findings at both the diagnostic and therapeutic level (photo/hyperthermia/chemotherapy). This will hopefully result in magneto-responsive nanoformulations with great promise to act as multimodal image-guided theranostics in the continuous search for tangible clinical nanoprobes.
Potential topics for this issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- MNPs for magnetic drug targeting and delivery.
- MNPs for detection, bioimaging, and biosensing.
- MNPs for catalysis and separation.
- MNPs for hyperthermia applications.
- MNPs for photothermal therapy.
- MNPs and their hybrid nanocomposites.
- MNPs doped with metals and their applications.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kheireddine El-Boubbou

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. 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.
