Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of novel magnetic nanoparticle systems for various biomedical applications has been the subject of tremendous interest over the past few decades. There are numerous research works regarding the synthesis and utilization of magnetic nanoparticles in biomedical research. Nevertheless, much still has to be established due to the complexity of magnetic nanoparticle interactions with biological systems. There is a need to elucidate the most relevant effects of synthesis on the magnetic, structural and physicochemical properties of the engineered magnetic nanoparticles and how these effects impact their biocompatibility and application in the biomedical field.
For this Special Issue of Nanomaterials, we hope to receive original papers, communications and reviews, from a broad community of various academic disciplines, focusing on recent achievements, progress and prospects in areas including, but not limited to:
- Magnetic nanomaterials development and synthesis routes;
- Magnetic nanoparticle characterization;
- Surface engineering of magnetic nanomaterials for biomedical research;
- Analytical applications of magnetic nanoparticles;
- Novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches;
- Biocompatibility of magnetic nanoparticles;
- Biomedical imaging;
- Multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles.

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.
