Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topic “Heat Transfer in Nanostructured Materials” has recently drawn an increased amount of attention due to its application significance in semiconductor industries. The demand for nanostructures with high heat-transfer efficiency is quite urgent to address the heat dissipation issue of chips with high power densities, which is growing into a bottleneck for further developments. Moreover, extensive research efforts are focused in other areas of this field of study, with a significant impact on microelectronics, thermal logic devices, and thermoelectric technologies. Heat transfer in nanostructures is a huge “playground”, so to speak. However, engineering heat transfer in nanostructures is particularly challenging. When it comes to the nanoscale, interfaces play dominant roles in heat transfer, based on which, cutting-edge technologies such as the design of quantum dots, superlattices, and interface modification could be adopted as promising approaches to engineer heat transport. These technologies are helping us to prepare to embrace the era of atomic manufacturing of chips. Additionally, further studies on interfacial heat transfer in monoatomic layers and low-dimension materials will be of great significance to thermal management of superlarge scale integrated circuits and other power semiconductor devices.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials welcomes recent works on “Heat Transfer in Nanostructured Materials”, covering materials design, fabrication, characterization, and theoretical analyses; devices and their applications; thermal measurement technologies; etc.

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 2900 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.
