Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of nanomaterials continues to redefine scientific and technology, bridging gaps between disciplines and enabling transformative innovations across diverse sectors. Engineered Nanomaterials (ENMs), with their precisely tuned properties at the nanoscale, represent a significant innovation in this field. These materials, encompassing carbon-based nanostructures, metal nanoparticles, polymeric systems, nanocomposites, quantum dots, and two-dimensional materials, are heralding a new era in healthcare, energy, environmental sustainability, and advanced manufacturing.
This Special Issue of Materials (MDPI) will highlight the latest advancements and emerging trends in ENMs. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how these materials address critical challenges in contemporary science and engineering, while offering new opportunities for future applications. We therefore welcome the submission of innovative research on the synthesis, characterization, functionalization, and application of ENMs, alongside insightful reviews that contextualize their role in the advancement of interdisciplinary domains.
The integration of ENMs into nanomedicine, clean energy technologies, flexible electronics, and sustainable industrial processes is evidence of their versatility and impact. Moreover, the growing interest in green nanotechnology underscores the importance of environmentally friendly synthesis methods, lifecycle analyses, and scalable production techniques.
By compiling articles from leading researchers and innovators, this Special Issue aims to advance our understanding of ENMs. We invite scientists to submit their pioneering works and enhance the future of nanomaterials science.

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.
