Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials, entitled “Advances in Stimuli-Responsive Nanomaterials”, aims to showcase the latest research in the field of smart nanomaterials. Publications in the previous edition of this Special Issue focused on a broad range of nanomaterials that can react or respond to external stimuli, including metallic nanomaterials, oxide nanoparticles, 2D nanomaterials, inorganic heterogenous nanostructures, and polymer-based nanocomposites. Additionally, this edition focused on their applications in microwave/terahertz-wave absorbers and devices, optical devices, micro- and nanomotors, sensors, catalysis, energy storage, and antimicrobial agents.
We thank all the authors for their contributions and reviewers for their assistance with this Special Issue. To continue to stimulate more achievements in this field and highlight the importance of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials in such an exciting field, it is our pleasure to launch a follow-up Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Stimuli-Responsive Nanomaterials: 3rd Edition”. The main focus of this Special Issue is the same as the previous one, where we aim to focus on the research and development of smart stimuli-responsive nanomaterials and functional devices. We welcome the submission of both theoretical and experimental approaches, focusing on aspects such as the design and synthesis of novel nanomaterials or nanocomposites with stimuli-responsive properties, characterization, and analysis of the working principle and regulating mechanism of stimuli-responsive activities or performances and the development of new smart devices based on stimuli-responsive nanomaterials. Both reviews and original research articles are welcome to be submitted.

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.
