Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dielectric coatings for functional nanomaterials represent a transformative frontier in materials science, offering unparalleled opportunities to enhance the performance and versatility of nanoscale systems. These coatings, which provide insulation and precise control over interfacial properties, are pivotal for advancing next-generation technologies in energy storage, microelectronics, and photonics. Recent developments in coating materials and deposition techniques have opened new pathways to optimize dielectric properties, such as low dielectric loss, high breakdown strength, and environmental durability.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in dielectric coatings for functional nanomaterials, bridging the gap between fundamental research and applied science. Contributions that focus on innovative materials, scalable fabrication techniques, and novel applications are particularly encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, dielectric coatings for energy storage systems, surface passivation of nanostructures, and 3D printing of dielectric layers.
In this Special Issue, we invite original research articles and comprehensive reviews that advance the understanding and application of dielectric coatings for nanomaterials. By bringing together cutting-edge research, this Special Issue aims to inspire innovative solutions to current challenges and promote interdisciplinary collaborations in the field of nanomaterials and coatings.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Functional coatings for nanomaterials;
- Three-dimensional printing of dielectric coatings.
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.
