Recent Advances of Nanoparticles in Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Nanotechnology deals with nanoparticles which are very small in diameter, ranging from 0.1 to 100 nm. Nanoparticles have their unique properties including morphology, compositions, size, and surface chemistry which induce different behavior than those of micro- and macro-scale particles. There are many types of nanoparticles depending on their properties, such as metallic nanoparticles, carbon-based, ceramics, semiconductor, polymeric, and lipid-based nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are used in a wide range of applications, such as biomedical, pharmaceutics, and drug delivery systems due to their optical, thermal, electrical, mechanical, and catalytic properties. For this Special Issue, we invite original research or review papers that focus on nanoparticles in biomedical applications, such as DDS or bioimaging using nanoparticles.

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.
