Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Owing to the rapid development of electronic technology, electromagnetic (EM) interference has emerged a significant and growing concern in today’s environment. Explosive EM waves harmfully affect both device performance and human health, and advanced EM wave detection technology also threatens national defense securities. Therefore, high-performance EM wave-absorbing materials are urgently required for both civilian and military applications. To satisfy the increasing requirement, various advanced materials have been explored with the support from fields of nanotechnology, material chemistry, and polymer science, among others. Nanomaterials exhibit remarkable advantages in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption due to their unique physical and chemical properties, such as highly specific surface area, quantum size effects, and interfacial effects. Currently, carbon-based nanomaterials, magnetic nanomaterials, and conductive polymer nanomaterials are widely studied and applied in wave-absorbing materials.
The present Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to present the current state-of-the-art characterization of nanostructures, nanomaterial processing technology, and properties of novel nanomaterials for electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials, electronic functional components, and magnetic functional materials. Original research papers, communications, and review articles are welcome.

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. 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.
