Micro and Nanostructures for Applied Chemistry and Medical Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

We do believe that the topics of the proposed Special Issue, entitled "Micro and Nanostructures for Applied Chemistry and Medical Sciences"  will be interesting for large groups of researchers focused on micro and nanostructures, working in both fields of applied chemistry and medical sciences.

Nowadays, the wide variety of micro and nanostructure of materials and their different physical forms allow the modifications of properties, enhancing their performances and leading to new applications in different fields. It is an aspect of the interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity of modern research, when knowledge from different disciplines can stay within their boundaries yet reflecting multidisciplinarity in a step, but could also promote links between disciplines into a coherent whole in another step. The objectives of multiple and interdisciplinarity approaches are to solve very complex aspects of problems, to support various perspectives on topics, and to develop methodologies and technologies sustaining applications. 

In this view, applications of micro and nanostructures of drug molecules for diagnosis, therapeutics, and cosmetics are welcome in both review and research papers as well. Colleagues are invited to propose manuscripts with original character, with a special focus on health and materials. Molecules that improve food quality, their properties, structure, and health impact are welcome, as well as molecules of materials in 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.
