Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The tuning of the morphology, size, porosity, organization, crystallinity, and chemical composition of materials at nanoscale, as well as their interfaces (surface charge, chemical function, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, etc.), are crucial to control their properties and allow their applications in various fields, such as electronics, photonics, energy, life sciences, and the environment.
The aim of this Special Issue is to assemble high-quality reviews on nanoprocessing approaches allowing to create novel nanostructures and architecture using innovative synthesis, fabrication, and manufacturing methods, enabling the control of their properties as well as their applications. Reviews related to the following topics will be highly encouraged.
- Synthesis, fabrication, and manufacturing of nanostructured and nanoscale materials;
- Design of nanoparticles and clusters with control morphology and complex structures (core/shell, alloy, etc.);
- Formation of 1D nanostructures (nanofibers, nanotubes, nanorods, etc.);
- 2D materials and their heterostructures;
- Coatings and thin films;
- Hybrid nanostructures (organic/inorganic);
- Nanocomposites;
- Self-assembly and organization;
- Nanostructured materials such as Zeolies, MOFs, and membranes.
Reviews related to the applications of these nanomaterials in different fields, such as health, environment, and renewable energy, will also be considered. Reviews related to prospective materials design, original materials properties, and innovative characterization techniques will be appreciated.
This is a joint Special Issue, accepted papers are published in the joint Special Issue in Nanomaterials or Nanomanufacturing (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nanomanufacturing/special_issues/Nano_fabrication).

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
