Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is a branch of science which involves the manufacture and testing of structures in which at least one dimension is less than 100 nm. Such particles are called nanoparticles, and these can be classified in terms of their shape, source, and chemical composition.
Nanostructures, in spite of their much smaller size, have the same physicochemical properties as their larger counterparts, but they also have many other features which makes them suitable for a range of new applications in various fields.
Research conducted in the last two decades has clearly demonstrated that the electromagnetic, optical, antibacterial and catalytic properties of metal nanoparticles are very much dependent on their shape and size, as well as their tendency to agglomerate.
This is the reason that there has been growing interest among scientists and researchers in metal nanoparticles.
This Special Issue will also be dedicated to new applications of metal nanoparticles.
We warmly welcome the submission of original research papers and reviews.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
