Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is a field of science that enables atoms to arrange themselves into the required pattern to create materials that are more enduring, lighter, and less dangerous. The unique characteristics of nanomaterials are the greater surface-to-volume ratio and their quantum size effect. In this respect, nanoparticles, nanofiber, nanoemulsion, nanoencapsulation, nanoliposomes, nanowhiskers, and so on can be implemented into food systems. They should be integrated with gastronomical applications as coating materials and into different types of kitchen equipment, such as pan production, and sustainable kitchen applications using nanoscience can also be provided. Moreover, through nanotechnology, it is possible to identify harmful chemicals, monitor production processes, and delay the deterioration of food and agricultural products, thus reducing waste production. Besides food safety, different aromas using nanotechnology applications can be obtained for use in different food systems. This Special Issue aims to bring to light the latest advances and impacts of nanotechnology as a promising approach in different scientific areas from food science to kitchen applications and how to enhance their effects. The primary topics covered by this Special Issue are as follows:
- Nanomaterial production for sustainability;
- Green nanotechnology;
- New methodologies to produce nanomaterials;
- Nanomaterial production from agricultural/kitchen waste;
- Waste management via nanotechnology;
- Nanotechnology for sustainable food safety;
- Novel sustainable materials for nanoscience.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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.
