Morphological Design and Synthesis of Nanoparticles (Third Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

The latest trends in nanoparticle research aim to correlate nanoparticle morphology and function. For example, the asymmetry of Janus nanoparticles endows these amphiphilic properties and the capability to partition at interfaces, self-assemble into suprastructures, and emulsify or function as unidirectional nanomotors. But there are numerous other examples of functionality that arise from the morphological design of the nanoparticles; for example, in nanoparticle catalysis, in drug delivery systems, or nanoparticles used as technology enablers for designing nanostructured materials, interfaces, and composites. This Special Issue, entitled “Morphological Design and Synthesis of Nanoparticles (Third Edition)”, aims to capture a glimpse of the latest developments in the synthetic strategies of nanoparticles with unique morphologies that endow them with special functions, spanning a broad field of applications, from biology to catalysis, optoelectronics, and beyond. This Special Issue is dedicated to promoting advances in synthetic strategies of nanoparticles with unique morphologies, design of materials derived from the use of (multi)functional nanoparticles, physicochemical investigations of phenomena arising from such nanoparticles, devices incorporating these nanoparticles as active ingredients, and new applications. We look forward to receiving your contributions and hope that together we can unlock inspiring new perspectives and boost interdisciplinary collaboration within this field.

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.
