Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrospinning is one of the most straightforward and versatile techniques to manufacture polymer, ceramic, carbon, and composite fibers with sizes typically in the range of 100 to 1000 nm, approximately 2 to 3 orders of magnitude smaller than the conventional fibers used in the current fiber industry. The features of electrospun nanofibers include their high surface to volume ratio, tunable porosity, and ability to be easily processed for practical applications such as biomedical engineering, energy storage, environmental remediation, sensors, textiles, and composite materials. This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge research into electrospun nanofibers and other nanofibrous materials, including their fabrication, functionalization, characterization, and advanced applications across disciplines, with a focus on sustainability.

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.
