Experimental and Numerical Modelling of Nanostructures Processing, Structure and Properties

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing demand in nanotechnology in various industrial sectors has prompted scientists to customize the materials design and properties for targeted properties. Most of the newly developed materials are complex nanostructures with a continuous reduced size and dimensions. Dedicated processing routes (bottom-up, top-down and additive manufacturing) have emerged to customize the nanocomposite design and make it easily tunable to match the desired property.

To accommodate nanocomposite processing, advanced characterization techniques including but not limited to analytical chemistry, imaging, and spectroscopy have appeared as major tools to evaluate the properties of fabricated nanocomposites. Further, various numerical modeling strategies accounting for the size and the confinement effects and the phases intermixing have been developed to comprehend their properties and provide reliable predictions.

In this context, this Special Issue titled: “Experimental and Numerical Modelling of Nanostructures: Processing, Structure and Properties” offers an opportunity to authors to share their views of the current developments in the field, in term of fundamental scientific bottlenecks posed by nanostructures and their technological applications.

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.
