Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that the performance of materials is highly dependent on their structures. Research on revealing their relationship is always the focus of material scientists. Due to their special mechanical properties, large specific surface area, excellent electrical/thermal conductive 3D network, and special porous structure, versatile hierarchical nanostructured materials have been designed and applied for various material systems, including polymers, metals, inorganic materials, and their composites. The study of the mechanisms of unique nanostructures on promoting the mechanical, electrical, thermal, and electrochemical properties of materials is essential to acquire new knowledge and pave the way for the development of novel advanced materials. Therefore, investigations in this field are attracting increasing research interest.
The aim of this Special Issue of Nanomaterials is to collect state-of-the-art contributions related to recent advancements in the field of designing and fabricating hierarchical nanostructured materials and their various applications, including (but not limited to) structure engineering materials, surface protective materials, functional materials for thermal management, electromagnetic shielding, supercapacitors, rechargeable batteries, sensors, 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.
