Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The pervasive utilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has stemmed from their distinctive optical, electronic, and physical attributes. AuNP applications continue to evolve, encompassing electronics, sensors, diagnostics, solar cells, catalysis, nanoengineering, photodynamic therapy, therapeutic agent delivery, and more.
In this Special Issue, we eagerly anticipate exceptional contributions centered around the theme of "Synthesis and Applications of Gold Nanoparticles". Encompassing both fundamental principles and the latest advancements, this collection aims to spotlight the highly promising field of gold nanoparticles, with the aim to engage the widest possible audience. Embracing subjects such as AuNP synthesis, their integration with biologically compatible ligands, diagnostics, plasmon-based labeling and imaging, optical and electrochemical sensing, as well as disease-specific therapies, we invite dedicated researchers to submit original research papers or comprehensive review articles, allowing us to collectively present the forefront of progress in this dynamic field.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Wen-Huei Chang
Guest Editor
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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
