Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomass-Derived Nanocomposites are a class of innovative materials that merge the advantages of renewable biomass resources with the unique properties of nanoscale components. These nanocomposites hold immense promise for a wide range of applications across diverse industries due to their exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. By incorporating nanomaterials into biomass-derived matrices, researchers aim to enhance the overall performance and functionality of the resulting composites. Moreover, utilizing renewable biomass sources contributes to sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives in material development. Researchers are diligently working to optimize fabrication processes to achieve tailored properties that align with specific application requirements. Through comprehensive studies and analyses, these innovative nanocomposites are anticipated to play an integral role in shaping future sustainable technologies, offering solutions to pressing challenges in a wide range of industries and applications.
The scope of present Special Issue, Biomass-Derived Nanocomposites, of Nanomaterials encompasses various research areas, including nanotechnology, materials science, chemistry, and engineering. Key focuses involve the synthesis and characterization of these nanocomposites, understanding the interactions between biomass-derived components and nanoparticles, and exploring their application potential in fields such as biomedicine, environmental remediation, energy storage, and structural materials.

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 2900 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.
