Supramolecular and Functional Nanomaterials for Theranostic, Catalysis, and Sensor Applications
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart polymeric or nano-materials equipped with stimuli-controlled supramolecular components or molecular machines have attracted a lot of attention, particularly for drug delivery, enzyme-mimicking catalysis, molecular/biosensing, imaging and therapy. Novel approaches have been utilized to synthesize new composite nanostructures for combined functions, mimicking and advancing functional enzyme systems. New methods on the effective synthesis of polymeric or organic–inorganic hybrid nanomaterials will be beneficial to investigate the biosensing, combined drug encapsulation and release and catalysis for renewable materials. Cutting-edge imaging techniques such as mass spectrometry imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and other new techniques will shed light on these bio-uptake mechanisms. Targeted therapy can be achieved by external stimuli such as pH, light, ultrasound, enzymes and biomarkers. You are cordially invited to submit a manuscript to one of the journals in this Topic.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
