Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I invite you to participate (as a contributor or as a reader) in this Special Issue devoted to the processing of nanomaterials by plasmas. At present, the applications of nanomaterials spread to almost every possible field of research and industry, from the construction or food industries to high-tech biomolecular applications. Plasmas have shown their high flexibility to generate or modify materials, from fast and easy-to-handle ones operated at atmospheric pressure to costly low-pressure ones that can provide precise process control. Originating from material science and physics, the field has thus become very multidisciplinary, and it has been put to practice in a range of projects, from broad to narrow-profile.
Manuscripts are expected to show recent experimental advances, representing an original or unusual approach or methodology. There are no preferences in terms of materials, discharge type, or application. Moreover, manuscripts showing new or relatively narrow applications are highly appreciated.
The topics include:
- Plasma sources for nanomaterial processing;
- Generation of nanomaterials using electrical discharges;
- Controlled modification of nanomaterials (chemical composition, shape, activity) by plasmas;
- Research methodology related to an application that can be translated into another area.
Manuscripts written as short reviews are also accepted, though they should clearly show the contribution of the researchers.

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.
