Nanomaterials for Micro/Nano Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Nanomaterials are chemical substances or materials consisting of very small particles of different shapes and sizes. These are no larger than hundred nanometers, or about one thousand times less than the thickness of a human hair. They occur in nature or can be deliberately manufactured and engineered to generate materials which exhibit novel characteristics. Materials engineered to such a small scale are often referred to as engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) and can take on unique mechanical, chemical, optical, magnetic, electrical, and other properties. These emergent products have the potential for great impacts in electronics, medicine, and other fields.

The present Special Issue of Micromachines focuses on the nanomaterials for Micro/Nano Devices. This Special Issue aims to review the current state of the art and utilization of new synthesis techniques, characterizing methods, and integration strategies to develop nanomaterial-based devices with improved performance and functionality. We invite original research articles, review articles, and perspectives on recent developments in the field of nanomaterials for micro/nano devices. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Nanomaterial synthesis and fabrication
• Energy conversion and storage
• Nanoelectronics and nanophotonics
• Biocompatibility of nanomaterials
• Nano/Microdevices for nanomedicine
• 3D printing with nanomaterials
• Nanomechanics and nanocomposites
• Nano-optics and devices
• Nanosensors and applications
• Advancements in technology

This Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers, scientists, and engineers to share their latest findings, ideas, and advancements in this exciting and rapidly growing field. We look forward to receive your contributions and publishing in this Special Issue on "Nanomaterials for Micro/Nano Devices".

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
