Exploration and Application of Nanocarriers

Dear Colleagues,

The application of nanoparticles has been the subject of increasing research and industrial focus over the past 10 years. Nanotechnology has been used for human and animal health care, particularly for drug delivery platforms and diagnostics in the treatment of various diseases including tumors and bacterial and viral infections. Nanomaterials contain organic, inorganic, and hybrid nanoparticles, which are mostly smaller than 100 nm, though some other particles are larger than 500 nm. There are various challenges for clinical treatment with nanoparticles. One crucial issue is the question of how to use nanotechnology to treat resistant tumors, bacteria, and mutated viruses precisely. Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, and review articles that focus on novel methodological developments in the application of nanoparticles and nanocarrier delivery against bacteria, tumors, or virus infections. 

We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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 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.
