Nanoparticles for Conductors

Dear Colleagues,

The preparation, study, and processing of nanoparticles for conductors is a subject of intense interest today. This field mobilizes the efforts of solid state chemists, molecular chemists, physicists, electronic engineers, biologists, etc.

The purpose of this Special Issue, entitled “Nanoparticles for Conductors”, is to collect high-quality papers in the fields of conducting nanoparticles (metals, metal oxides or nitrides, conducting polymers, molecule-based conductors, etc.) and nanoparticles for molecular electronics. Furthermore, special attention will be given to articles highlighting applications such as transparent conductors based on nanoparticles, stretchable or flexible nanoparticle conductors, or sensors composed of conducting nanoparticles.

It is a great pleasure to invite colleagues to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Communications, full papers, and reviews are all welcome.

Prof. Dominique de Caro

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.
