Recent Progress in Advanced Functional Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

The development of the nanotechnology field is moving towards more progressive and multifunctional materials that provide a set of combined properties with unique applicability. Functional nanomaterials have the potential to revolutionize a variety of fields by enabling the development of more efficient and cost-effective technologies. The ability to achieve various functions in a single material can also lead to the development of highly versatile and adaptable multipurpose materials. Multifunctionality could also be conveniently achieved through the combination of various components, leading to the formation of nanocomposites. The combination of advanced techniques used for the characterization of such materials enables us to understand the different phenomena typical for materials of these dimensions, as well as predict their applicability. When such materials are designed, their possible adverse environmental effects, together with potential approaches toward their recyclability, must be considered. The involvement of additive technologies can even broaden the application possibilities of nanomaterials, and ready-to-use products with desired properties can be directly achieved.

The scope of this Special Issue is to address the recent progress in the field of functional nanomaterials and nanocomposites with potential applications in the area of pollution abatement, clean energy production, and nanomaterials for surfaces with desired and tuned functionality.

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 2900 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.
