Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanocomposites are materials that incorporate nanosized materials into a matrix of standard material. The result of the addition of nanomaterials is an extreme improvement in properties that can include photonics, optoelectronics, and mechanics. The electronic properties of normal nanomaterials with quantum size effects have significantly changed, and their photonic, optoelectronic, and mechanic performances have been deeply modified compared to their bulk form. Due to their varied electronic, optical and mechanic properties, nanomaterials and nanocomposites have been utilized, with significant advances for a wide range of applications, such as nonlinear optics, electrooptic modulator, photovoltaics, plasmonics, lighting, display, anti-counterfeiting, and photodetectors. The importance to these device applications is an enhanced understanding of the fundamental structural, mechanic, photonic and optoelectronic properties of these advanced nanocomposites.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collate original research and review articles concerning these issues in preparation, characterization, and applications of nanostructured materials and nanocomposites focusing on photonic, optoelectronic, and mechanic applications. Emphasis should be on new concepts of research and development from both theoretical and experimental ways. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Design and construction of nanomaterials and their heterostructures.
- Characterizations of nanomaterials and their devices.
- Theoretical calculation and simulation of advanced nanocomposites.
- Photonic or optoelectronic or mechanic applications of advanced nanocomposites

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 2600 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.
