Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoparticles (NPs) are well-known key materials that possess unique and significantly modified physical and chemical properties compared to their bulk counterparts. NPs are suitable candidates in various research and commercial fields, including catalysis, imaging, medical applications, energy-based research, and environmental applications.
The aim of the proposed Special Issue is to collect worldwide original contributions and review papers from experts on the synthesis, properties, and applications of NPs. The Special Issue will include papers on not only different types of NPs, including fullerenes, metal NPs, ceramic NPs, and polymeric NPs, but also nanocomposites. Contributions with innovative methods to synthesize nanoparticles will be welcomed in this Special Issue, with particular attention to “green” methods. Top-down and bottom-up preparation approaches will be included. Contributions including optical and/or chemical characterization will also be considered. Special attention will be devoted to nanoparticles applications in a variety of research fields, including catalysis, optics, and medicine.

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. Reactions is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
