Insights into Mechanical Deformation of Nanostructure-Reinforced Composites

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, ideas have been cultivated to enable global maximization of the benefits of nanotechnology.

The advantages of nanocomposites have brought them much attention in the industry. Their classification is based on whether they are natural or synthetic, as well as whether they possess a metal, polymer, or ceramic matrix. Nanocomposites are used to compensate for inherent defects in the matrix or to improve its properties with the help of different nanostructures. Carbon nanotubes, graphene, titania and silica nanoparticles, clay nanoplates, and silicon carbide nanoparticles are among the most commonly used nanostructures. Materials can be given special properties by using these nanostructures in very low weight percentages.

In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight the latest research in this important field and to publish the results of theoretical and experimental studies (particularly those with a molecular focus) with regard to the improvement of materials using nanoparticles.

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.
