Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Colloid chemistry plays a crucial role in the understanding and application of nanomaterials, which are increasingly utilized across various fields. Nanomaterials exhibit unique properties that arise from their small size and high surface area, making them ideal for applications in areas such as functional materials (films, coatings, and inks), food, catalysis, medicine, and the environment.
The aim of this Special Issue is to compile and publish innovative research and experimental findings related to the interplays between colloid chemistry and the applications of nanomaterials. We invite submissions of original research articles and comprehensive reviews on (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Synthesis and characterization of colloidal nanomaterials;
- colloidal stability and interactions of nanomaterials;
- theoretical modeling and computational studies in colloid chemistry;
- applications of nanomaterials in functional materials, food, catalysis, medicine, and the environment.
We look forward to your contributions that will help illuminate the vast potential of colloid chemistry in the realm of nanomaterials.

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.
