Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles have attracted interest over time. Their unique properties means they have broad applications: from sensors and electronic devices to antimicrobial agents, cytotoxicity or drug delivery. Moreover, increased attention has been paid to nanoparticles and nanocomposites in the last few decades; hybrid systems (e.g., coated and functionalized materials and metal–protein systems) have been studied much more. In fact, the increasing prevalence of ecological problems, the issue of drug resistance and the apparent limitations in the application of nanomaterials have encouraged researchers to find new solutions, new insights and new approaches.
Therefore, the current Special Issue covers interdisciplinary approaches related to “Metal/Metal Oxide Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites; Synthesis, Properties and Applications”. Practical work covering recent scientific challenges/strategies in the field as well as review papers addressing recent and newest progress are welcome.

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.
