Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is an honor to present this Special Issue on the design and synthesis of smart responsive materials tuned at the nano- and quantum scales to achieve various properties and functions. To further advance this field, multidisciplinary approaches can be utilized from nanoemitters to cargo-loaded particles, semiconductors, etc. Thus, luminescence, opto-electronic signaling, photonics, and further multi-modal energy modes can be explored, highlighting enhanced and coupled physical phenomena. In this context, fundamental and applied studies can enhance developments in sustainable chemistry and functional materials. Such findings could be innovated further in studies and prototypes focusing on hybrid materials, composites, modified substrates, metamaterials, applications for devices, and miniaturized instrumentation. Thus, we welcome studies on modifications of surfaces, substrates, designs of chips, lab-on-a-particle, drug delivery systems, light devices, implantable, development of conductive materials, etc. Authors are encouraged to apply different signals and topological states of light; however, it is not required to consider other strategies involved.
We look forward to receiving your contributions. As this issue will cover a wide spectrum of interests, materials, and innovations, please do not hesitate to propose your interests.

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.
