Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The past decade has seen an evolution in the scientific understanding and capabilities of multifunctional nanostructures whose properties are controlled by their size, morphology or host matrix. One of the challenges of today’s science and engineering materials design is to develop functional multiferroics nanocomposites based on dielectric and magnetic porous matrices that exhibit interesting magnetic and electric properties, which have high thermal stability and remarkable optoelectronics properties, and those in which a precise control of the properties is achieved by changing the shape and the pore size of the matrix. However, as can be clearly seen, the stability of a nanostructure depends strongly on the size and its outer shape. The dynamic impedance spectroscopy (DIS) method, polarization–electric field (P–E), and DSC measurements allow for the characterization of the occurrence of phase transitions and the estimation of the main thermodynamic parameters of those transitions in obtained multiferroics, the determination of ferroelectric properties (spontaneous polarization and coercive field), the description of relaxation mechanisms, and the investigation of the influence of pore dimensions and particle sizes on physical properties of studied composites.
In this Special Issue, the preparation and fundamental physical properties of porous glass-based nanocomposites 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.
Dr. Agnieszka Cizman

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.
