Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The performance of nanomodified composites is designed at molecular and microscopic scales and a multi-scale design framework covering microscale, mesoscale and macroscale is constructed. Collaborative design is realized with the help of multi-scale simulation algorithms and artificial intelligence-assisted algorithms. The study reveals the quantitative correlation between the microstructure and macroscopic mechanical properties of nanomodified composites.
It also elaborates on mechanical behaviors, failure mechanisms and fracture theories of interfaces between nanomodified composites and dissimilar materials.
This Special Issue focuses on nano-modified composite materials and their applications in civil engineering, rail transit engineering, hydraulic engineering, thermal insulation and other fields. The materials covered include, but are not limited to, nano-modified shotcrete, nano-modified foamed concrete, nano-modified waterproof coatings, as well as nano-modified organic and inorganic repair materials.
The core scientific and technical bottlenecks restricting the further development of such materials mainly involve the uniform dispersion of nano-fillers, the interfacial bonding performance and long-term durability of composites under harsh service environments (such as alpine conditions, large temperature differences, freeze–thaw cycles, high geothermal temperature, intense radiation, etc.).
Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Nano-modified shotcrete
- Nano-modified foamed concrete
- Nano-modified waterproof materials
- Nano-modified cement-based repair materials
- Nano-modified epoxy repair materials
- Nano-modified magnesium phosphate cement
We welcome everyone to submit manuscripts and share research achievements in the Nanomodified composites-structure integrated design, so as to jointly promote the development of this research direction.

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-anonymized 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.
