Electrospinning Nanofibers: Synthesis and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Electrospinning is a modern and efficient method which uses an electric field to produce fine fibers of a diameter down to nanoscale even with milligrams of materials. It encompasses the utilization of various small molecules/biomolecules, synthetic or natural polymers, ceramics, or their combinations/composites for nanofiber production at a mass scale. Fiber-shaped nanostructures with a tunable porosity, high specific surface area, and a flexibility of functionalization with biological molecules are its advantages. These spun fibers have wide applications in industry and biomedical areas, such as energy, catalysis, water treatment, aerospace, batteries, sensors, and electronic devices, filtration, composites, would dressing, tissue engineering scaffolds, and drug delivery. This Special Issue aims to enclose the most innovative advancements in the field of electrospinning of materials and fabrication processes. Furthermore, this may serve as a potent platform for knowledge sharing on the advancements in novel technologies and applications.

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.
