Selected Papers from the 3rd International Conference on Bioinspired and Biobased Chemistry & Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Taking inspiration from nature, we can engineer artificial materials, bringing new solutions for industry, environment, medicine, and many other fields, in a more sustainable way. Bioinspired and Biobased Chemistry and Materials is an emerging field covering materials science, chemistry, physics, and biology. It arises from the knowledge of synthesis, directed self-assembly and hierarchical organization of natural materials, and takes advantage of this understanding to engineer new artificial materials and devices for many applications ranging from medical, industrial, and military to energy sectors. These topics are organized in three sessions: SmartTech, NanoTech and BioTech.

The aim of the conference is to gather together researchers, managers, manufacturer and decision-makers with different background, to exchange ideas, to discuss problems and to develop new ideas and collaborations for finding solution to problems without compromising the natural eco-system for current and future generations.

This Special Issue aims to collect high quality research papers on the growing field of bioinspired chemistry and materials. We are cordially inviting you to submit your manuscript to the Special Issue and also join us in N.I.C.E.2016 conference.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 2100 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.
