Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Peptide-based materials have been shown to be of significant interest in nanotechnology due to their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. There are numerous potential applications for these peptide-based materials, which can open up many new pathways in nanotechnology. In this Special Issue, the reader will be introduced to the synthesis, design, and development of peptide-derived materials and peptide-functionalized materials for multifunctional applications. A modification of peptide materials of either the atomic level doping of metals or nonmetals, or the functionalization of other biomolecules at the nanoscale has the potential to allow these molecules to bind to a variety of organic molecules, polymers, ligands, antibodies, proteins, DNA, and drugs. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly common to develop peptide-derived/based materials due to their excellent biocompatibility with living organisms, their wide range of applications, and their recyclability. These include drug delivery, drug targeting, tissue engineering, biomedical applications, catalysis, sensors, optics, electronics, and many others. This Special Issue will combine the preparation and characterization of innovative peptide-based materials or peptide-functionalized materials with applications in a variety of fields solely utilizing nanoscale technology in light of this concept of peptide-based nanomaterials for multifunctional applications.
Thank you so much
Best Regards
Dr. Vijay Bhooshan Kumar

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.
