Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A recent research field involving the development and optimization of nanocomposites concerns three-dimensional printing (3DP), also known as additive manufacturing (AM), which allows the fast and accurate fabrication of complex structures with a wide range of sizes and forms, thus favouring low-cost and rapid prototyping. The introduction of nanotechnology into this innovative field offers huge potential and opportunities for the manufacturing of 3D printed parts with customizable properties and specific multifunctionality. Nowadays, for example, conductive filaments with remarkable electromagnetic, mechanical, and thermal properties can be obtained by using carbon-based particles, thus overcoming the harsh restrictions encountered with insulating materials classically used with this technology. Despite the achievements in the development of new materials, different issues regarding their applicability and optimization remain to be solved, and further research investigations are therefore expected for this.
The forthcoming Special Issue “Polymeric 3D Printing: Applications in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology” aims to gather and publish original research papers, letters, as well as review articles, which either add knowledge to the current understanding of nanocomposites suitable for additive manufacturing applications or report new insights in this field.
It is my pleasure to invite you, as a renowned expert on the topic, to provide your precious contributions to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Jianlei Wang
Guest Editor
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.
