Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications in Environmental and Biomedical Sciences” invites scientific contributions such as research articles, communications, letters and reviews (systematic, narrative and scoping), highlighting new advances, techniques, functionalization and strategies for diverse applications of nanomaterials in environmental and biomedical fields. In recent years, nanomaterials have been developed for use in various biomedical applications using novel strategies. Along with biofunctionalization, these materials have been extensively studied due to their essential applications. However, there remain significant challenges; thus, many researchers are exploring innovative alternatives to develop nanomaterials with outstanding material properties to increase biocompatibility and enhance their potential for use in biomedicine.
On the other hand, due to increasing contaminants, environmental remediation requires continuous research efforts. Developing novel nanostructured materials, such as nanoadsorbents, nanocatalysts, membranes, and sensors, is essential for the removal, degradation, detection, and control of pollutants in different environmental media.

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. 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.
