Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hybrid materials that incorporate structurally different organic and inorganic constituents combine the properties inherent in both components in a remarkable way. The resulting synergy and possible evolution of completely new features make the chemistry of hybrid materials very interesting and promising. The diversity of components that can be used for the construction of hybrid materials may be translated into a broad range of interesting application areas.
The capabilities of organosilicon materials have been continuing to attract the attention of scientists and technologists for a long time. However, recent trends based on the integration of different materials at the nano or molecular scale have led to new possibilities. The synthesis of novel organic–inorganic species with properties tailored to suit a particular application and functionalization of organic materials by inorganic additives in the form of small particles has become increasingly important in bioorganic and polymer chemistry.
This Special Issue is devoted to advances in the development of synthetic routes to new hybrid materials, with a special focus on their properties and morphologies. Various aspects of material engineering and novel application areas are highlighted and discussed.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome. Interdisciplinary studies on any form of organosilicon and hybrid materials, including nanomaterials, thin films, porous materials for catalysis, and bio-applications, are particularly encouraged.

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.
