Advanced Radiation Technology for Nanomaterials: Fabrication, Effects and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Nanomaterials are ubiquitous (cosmetics, foods, industry, energy conversion, therapies, etc.). The potential toxicity and beneficial effects on living bodies of these nanomaterials, as well as new ways to produce and utilize them, have been the subject of extensive research for 20 years. The fabrication of various types of nanomaterials from energetic radiation and lasers is well known. We are now seeing a synergy of recent advances in the technology of these sources and new needs in medical cancer therapy and other applications. These advances merit being addressed in a dedicated journal issue. The selected authors in this issue have recently produced outstanding basic research on new methods of fabrication and elucidated effects on the nanoparticle surface, including grafting onto nanoparticles, to help vectorization and to explain and rank nanoparticles in order to enhance their ability to target and damage tumor cells.

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.
