Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the most fascinating and dynamic fields of research is the intersection of magnetism with materials at the nanoscale. Magnetic nanoparticles in all sizes and shapes, as well as their assembly into functional structures, have attracted significant attention in recent decades. Among many interesting features, we want to highlight their ability to heat when subjected to radiofrequency fields, the possibility of manipulating and guiding them using external magnetic fields, and the unconventional magnetic phenomena that arise when the size is decreased. A significant amount of research efforts is devoted to improving their synthesis and reproducibility, tailoring their properties, and creating assembled materials where magnetic properties are enhanced in various ways. From sensing to catalysis and in nanomedicine and environmental sciences, magnetic nanoparticles have a wide range of applicability in the leading research areas of today.
This Special Issue aims to gather an extensive compilation of cutting-edge research articles, short communications and reviews related to the development of magnetic nanoparticles, including robust and reproducible synthesis approaches, their assembly in complex structures and the collective properties thereof, chemical functionalization and characterization, theoretical modeling and computational studies and their multidisciplinary 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 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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
