Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to present this Special Issue, entitled “Sustainable Microdevice Printing Techniques with Functional Nano/Biomaterials”, which aims to brings together several exciting research areas. It focuses on the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials obtained through sustainable deposition processes, such as additive manufacturing and on-demand printing. Functional nanomaterials must exhibit specific optical, electronic, thermal, and/or magnetic properties, with an emphasis on physical and chemical functionalities for biological and medical applications.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome to be submitted. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: inkjet printing, plasma processing of cells and nanomaterials, atomic layer deposition, electrochromic and thermochromic materials, micro/nanofluidic systems, self-assembled nanostructures, nanocomposites, and flexible electronics. Contributions are welcome to explore the correlations between the morphology and functional properties of printed nanostructures and anticipate new avenues of research in the fields of nanomaterials and biotechnologies within the framework of green synthesis methods. For the second volume of this Special Issue, contributions focusing on the use of artificial intelligence (machine learning, deep neural networks, etc.) to improve the manufacturing, development, or analysis of the technical performance of new materials will be greatly appreciated.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
