Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology has gradually evolved in recent years, revealing different substances that are possessed under the nano-nanoparticles have many important applications and interesting materials. Nanotechnology is an applied science that studies the design, composition, properties, and applications of substances and devices at the nanoscale. Thin-film materials are thin metal substances or organic substances materials with thicknesses ranging from a single atom to a few millimeters. Electronic semiconductor devices and optical coatings are the main applications of thin film technology today. Thin film technology has a wide range of applications. Many researches have used different thin films for computer storage devices, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing thin-film batteries, dye-sensitized solar cells, and more. In addition, the ceramic thin films also have a wide range of applications. To the relatively high hardness of ceramic materials, such films were used to protect substrates from corrosion, oxidation, and wear. The present Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to present nano-structured thin films, specifically their growth, characteristics, and application in various fields of technology and science. In the present Special Issue, we invited contributions from leading groups in the field with the aim of providing a balanced view of the current state-of-the-art in this discipline.

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.
