Nanomaterials for Advanced Biomedical Applications, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Over recent decades, there has been intense scientific interest in the discovery of various types of nanomaterials and their potential biomedical applications. One reason for this interest is that nanomaterials exhibit innovative, remarkable, and beneficial physical, chemical, and biological characteristics compared to conventional materials. Parameters that are central to these characteristics include nanostructure shape, particle size, surface charge, and surface area, because they affect the biocharacteristics and performance of nanomaterials. Current trends in the literature show that there is still a lack of research focusing on the production and formulation of nanomaterials, providing opportunities for future advanced medical and pharmaceutical applications.

Consequently, the Special Issue “Nanomaterials for Advanced Biomedical Applications, 2nd Edition” aims to showcase in-depth discussions of the most recent progress in nanomaterials, not only in the preparation methods/instruments and characterization tools but also in their promising biomedical applications. This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews, with research topics covering all types of nanomaterial formulations for biomedical applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Novel methods for the synthesis of nanomaterials for biomedical applications;
• Synthesis and characterization of composite-based nanomaterials for biomedical applications;
• Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles and their biomedical applications;
• Bio-active-agent-based nanomaterials;
• Inorganic nanostructures, including nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanowires, nanorods, etc.;
• Smart nanomaterials for biomedical applications;
• Nanomaterials for tissue engineering and wound healing;
• Nanomaterials for targeted and controlled drug delivery systems (DDSs);
• Polymer nanocomposites for advanced biomedical applications;
• Carbon-based nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
