Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will publish both selected papers from the 2021 World Congress on Micro and Nano Manufacturing (WCMNM 2020, 23-25 March 2021, Mumbai, India, https://www.me.iitb.ac.in/~wcmnm/) and external contributions. The topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
- microfabrication technologies, process chains and process characterization;
- miniaturization of machines and equipment—positioning, motion generation, sensors systems, and control;
- novel product design, micro-assembly technologies and micro-handling;
- surface engineering and interface nanotechnology;
- process modeling and simulation;
- processing and characterization of smart materials, energy materials, metamaterials and nanomaterials;
- micro and nano additive, subtractive, joining, and hybrid manufacturing technologies;
- micro and desktop factory concepts, systems, components and modules;
- online monitoring and inspection systems, and smart manufacturing;
- standardization in micro manufacturing and micro factories;
- applications of micro and nano technologies;
- emerging micro manufacturing methods and equipment, including those that bridge the nano- and macro- worlds;
- biomanufacturing and biomedical devices.
We encourage both original research papers and comprehensive review articles to be submitted to this Special Issue.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
