Research on Nanocomposite in Chemical and Biological Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, there has been a significant amount of research conducted in the areas of science and technology related to nanocomposites, their manipulation, and their integration into nanoscale devices. Nanocomposites are a type of material that is constructed by hybridizing standard materials with nanoparticles. Concerning the unique characteristics that nanocomposites possess, their application has expanded to a variety of subfields within engineering and technology. They are helpful in an array of specialized industries, including automotive, sensors, batteries, cathodes, computers, and other cutting-edge fields such as bioengineering. Nanocomposite science and technology is an extremely timely and highly interdisciplinary field that demands the collaboration of chemists, physicists, engineers, and biologists. Nanocomposites have been explored for their ability to encapsulate and protect drugs, and to target specific cells or tissues. Nanocomposites can also be used in biosensors, where the incorporation of nanoparticles can improve the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor. The properties of nanocomposites can be tailored by selecting appropriate matrix materials and nanoparticles, allowing for the creation of materials with specific and desired properties.

This special issue on “Research on Nanocomposite in Chemical and Biological Engineering” targets original and novel research products on nanocomposite.

Research papers and reviews, not limited to, are welcome in the following areas:

• Structure, synthesis and investigation into the properties of Nanocomposites
• Applications of nanocomposites in environmental remediation, membrane production and catalysis
• Nanocomposites for smart drug delivery and biomedical applications
• Nanocomposites in chemical sensors and biosensors
• Nucleic acid based nanocomposites and their applications in biomedicine
• Applications of bionanocomposites in high-tech agriculture
• Applications of nanocomposites in energy and energy transformation

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. Processes 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.
