Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great honor for me to present to you a Special Issue of Materials. This issue focuses on “Advances in Organic Synthesis of Functionalized Nanomaterials and Their Applications”. Nanomaterials have existed on Earth since ancient times, even before the first human appeared. The first nanomaterials made by humans were Damascene steel weapons and the Lycurgus Cup. Since then, nanomaterials have come a long way and are now an indispensable part of our lives.

Organic reactions are one of the basic methods for the preparation of functionalized nanomaterials, both by direct synthesis from precursors and by post-functionalization of already prepared materials. Functionalization makes it possible to create advanced materials and thus expand the possibilities of their use in biomedical, environmental, textile, and packing applications, sensors, catalysis, electronics, and other fields.

Authors of original research papers and comprehensive reviews are welcome to contribute to this Special Issue to summarize the current state of the art and help other scientists to find in one place advances in the preparation or modification of nanomaterials by organic reactions and their application in a wide range of fields.

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.

Abstract
This study presents a simple route to heparin detection and develops a voltammetric approach using supramolecular principles and nanomaterials. Nanocomposites, including gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and γ-substituted pentamethinium salts (PMS) deposited on a glass carbon (GC) electrode surface (GC/AuNPs/PMS) and covered by a plasticized [...] Read more.
This study presents a simple route to heparin detection and develops a voltammetric approach using supramolecular principles and nanomaterials. Nanocomposites, including gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and γ-substituted pentamethinium salts (PMS) deposited on a glass carbon (GC) electrode surface (GC/AuNPs/PMS) and covered by a plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane, are proposed for heparin detection. The conductivity of the nonconducting PVC-plasticized membrane is guaranteed by AuNPs, and the selectivity is provided by the interaction between γ-substituted PMS and anionic analytes. In order to extend the linear range, it is necessary to apply a solvent compatible with PVC-plasticized membrane, namely tetrahydrofuran. The proposed voltammetric sensor showed a concentration dependence from 1.72 up to 45.02 IU mL−1 heparin and was used for heparin detection in saline and biological samples with recovery of 95.1–100.9%.
