Nanofiber and Nanomaterial Composites: Energy, Healthcare and Beyond

Dear Colleagues,

Nanofibers and nanomaterial composites, characterized by their unique structural, mechanical, electrical, optical, and magnetic properties, have emerged as a transformative class of materials at the convergence of materials science, engineering, and nanotechnology. Their multifunctional nature opens vast possibilities for applications across diverse domains, including energy storage, biomedical engineering, environmental remediation, and beyond. The purpose of this Special Issue, “Nanofiber and Nanomaterial Composites: Energy, Healthcare and Beyond,” is to highlight the latest advances, emerging challenges, and future directions in this rapidly expanding field. This issue seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for contributions that explore the design, fabrication, processing, characterization, and applications of nanofibers, nanomaterials, and their hybrid composites. We particularly welcome studies that reveal fundamental insights into interfacial interactions, property enhancement mechanisms, and structure–property relationships, as well as works employing computational modeling, multiscale simulations, and advanced experimental characterization. Both fundamental research and application-driven investigations are encouraged. This Special Issue invites original research articles, critical reviews, perspectives, and short communications related to nanofiber and nanomaterial composite research. By bringing together diverse contributions from multiple disciplines, this issue aims to inspire innovative directions, foster cross-sectoral collaborations, and accelerate the translation of these advanced materials into next-generation technologies for energy, healthcare, and environmental solutions.

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.
