Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is a scientific branch focused on designing, fabricating, and applying nanostructures and nanomaterials at the nanometer scale. There has been growing interest in using nanotechnologies to produce and investigate carriers for drug delivery. In this sense, nanocarriers (such as liposomes and derivatives, metal nanoparticles, carbon nanoparticles and nanotubes, nanocrystals, polymeric nanospheres, nanocapsules, and micelles) can be used to control the release and delivery of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), enhance the dissolution of poorly soluble APIs, improve their bioavailability, and decrease side effects.
In this Special Issue of Pharmaceutics, original research articles and reviews regarding nanotechnology applications in the pharmaceutical field are welcome. This issue will highlight advances in new technologies for the development of different types of nanocarriers via the use of green techniques and materials. Articles focused on formulation strategies to encapsulate biological macromolecules are particularly encouraged.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Carla Serri
Guest Editor
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. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
