Magnetic Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic materials have an enormous impact to the modern science, technology and everyday life. Magnetic nanomaterials represent one of the most important and emerging class of materials in nanotechnology due to a range of potential applications, including magnetic data storage, catalysis, magnetic separation, sensing, waste water treatment and many others. In particularly, magnetic nanoparticles have been envisaged for various biomedical applications. For example, magnetic nanoparticles can be utilised as drug delivery agents, which can be localized in the body at a site of interest using an external magnetic field. When exposed to an alternating magnetic field, magnetic nanoparticles can serve as powerful heat sources destroying tumor cells, which allow to use these nanomaterials in cancer hyperthermia therapy. Magnetic fluids based on aqueous dispersions of small size. Magnetic nanoparticles have also been utilized as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

This special issue is focused on the synthesis, properties and prospective technological applications of magnetic nanomaterials in chemistry, physics, biology and medicine.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
