Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main aim of nanomaterials in environmental science and engineering is to heal or remedy eco-system or environments. Nanoparticles, nanostructures, nanomaterial-loaded micromaterials, and nanomaterial-loaded bulk materials can be considered as nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are of particular interest in environmental science and engineering due to their unique properties and high surface-to-volume ratio. Since the unintended leakage of nanomaterials into the environment can result in a significant threat to the environment and public health, nanomaterial-loaded micromaterials and nanomaterial-loaded bulk materials have been also subjected to alternative nanomaterials to prevent the leakage of nanomaterials to the environment. This Special Issue deals with the elimination of contaminants or pollution from environmental media like soil, air, groundwater, surface water, or sea water.
This Special Issue considers the recent advancements in nanomaterials and related nanomaterials with a special focus on applications in environmental science and engineering. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit original research papers and short communications within the scope of this Special Issue.
Prof. Won San Choi

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.
