Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the tremendous success of the first edition of the Special Issue “Advances in Bioactive Nanoparticles on Wound Healing, Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery”, in which a total of five papers were published (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nanomaterials/special_issues/Bioactive_Nano), a second edition is being launched.
In recent years, a lot of research has been directed towards the study of bioactive inorganic, organic, and/or hybrid nanoparticles in the biomedical field. These nanomaterials play an important role in drug delivery, imaging, diagnostics, wound healing, and tissue engineering applications. In this respect, different materials have been studied and investigated, such as iron oxide, gold, and silver nanoparticles; polymeric nanoparticles; lamellar solids; and nanocomposites. We invite authors to contribute original research or review articles covering the most recent progress and novel developments in the synthesis, design, use, and characterization of different nanoparticles and nanocomposites for drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing, and, more generally, biomedical technologies. This Special Issue will cover a broad range of subjects, ranging from nanoparticle synthesis to characterization and application. Welcomed study formats include full papers, communications, and reviews. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nanoparticle and nanocomposite development, synthesis, and fabrication for drug delivery, drug release, and tissue engineering;
- Inorganic, organic, and hybrid nanoparticles;
- Nanoparticle-based technologies for biomedical applications;
- Characterization of nanoparticles and nanocomposites and the study of their biocompatibility/toxicity towards different cell lines.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
