Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to contribute manuscripts to the new Special Issue of Materials dedicated to the hybrid magnetic nanocomposites. For the last two decades, a large effort have been made to combine polymeric and inorganic magnetic materials together and to create a completely new type of functional nanocomposite with unique properties (multifunctional character and easy susceptibility for modifications, adjustable surface and interfacial properies of magnetic materials). A hybrid magnetic nanocomposite built of surface layers of polyelectrolites, polymer brushes, self-assembled monolayers, liposomes and polymerosomes have found numerous applications in various areas of medicine, chemistry, biology, engineering, and more. In this Special Issue, I would like to focus on fabrication and characterization of hybrid magnetic composites based on two main approaches: polymer-coated magnetic nanoparticles and magnetically-responsive thin polymeric films. I kindly encourage you to submit full papers, communications, and critical reviews about polymeric nanocomposites with the ability to respond to the external magnetic fields in the topics related, but not limited to:
- magnetic remote navigation and drug targeting carriers
- biocompatible magnetic materials
- multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles
- contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- magnetic hyperthermia
- polymeric magnetically-responsive surfaces
- self-organized magnetic nanoparticles and data storage
- multicomponent hybrid nanostructures
- ferrogels and magnetic spheres dispersed in polymer
I look forward to your submission.
Dr. Michał Szuwarzyński

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
