Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The synthesis of novel functional nanoparticles is one of the most dynamic and sought-after areas in modern chemical science. Researchers are developing methods to synthesize various types of nanoparticles to create materials that possess unique physical and chemical properties while enhancing their practical functionality. Functional nanoparticles hold great promise, particularly in biomedicine and pharmaceuticals, where the distinctive properties of materials at the nanoscale can be effectively utilized.
These nanoparticles are notable for their high multifunctionality, which is due to their unique physicochemical characteristics, such as controlled morphology and versatile surface modification capabilities. A wide range of materials—including polymers, metal oxides, silica, noble metals, and carbon—can be used to fabricate nanoparticles. These structures can be engineered specifically to deliver bioactive substances, such as proteins, nucleic acids, or small molecules, thereby enabling a variety of biomedical applications.
This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge research in the synthesis of novel nanoparticles and the functionalization of existing ones with bioactive agents to facilitate their use in biomedical contexts. It also welcomes studies that explore innovative techniques for synthesizing and characterizing functional nanoparticles.
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.
