Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hybrid materials constitute a synergistic combination of organic and inorganic components at the nanometer or even molecular level. New generations of hybrid materials and nanocomposites with tailorable surface properties are finding increasing applications in many areas, such as environmental protection, sorption technologies, filtration processes, biomedicine, sensing, and biosensing, (photo)catalysis, as well as multifunctional coatings. Proper design of porosity is of paramount importance, as the porous structure (along with surface chemistry) determines the key properties associated with practical applications in the above-mentioned areas.
Therefore, the precise characterization of their structural, morphological, and physicochemical features, including their surface chemistry, is of paramount importance, since the properties of performance and cost correlation determine the possible practical applications in the abovementioned areas.
It is our pleasure to invite you to publish your work in this Special Issue of Materials entitled “Synthesis and Characterization of Porous Hybrid Nanomaterials” in the form of full articles, communications, or reviews. The aim of this Special Issue is to gather articles describing new concepts related to the synthesis, functionalization, characterization, and application of different classes of porous hybrid materials and systems.

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.
