Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials have a variety of remarkable physical and chemical characteristics because of their extraordinary nano-size and high surface-to-volume ratio, nanoparticles are of significant interest. Nanoparticles have many different uses and highly promising applications in a variety of industries, including health care, food, agriculture, and the environment. Nanomaterials are commonly synthesized via chemical and physical processes that typically include the use of hazardous chemicals and high-energy and are also expensive. In an effort to reduce the environmental impact of these synthetic processes, there has been a significant increase in scientific interest in the eco-friendly synthesis of nanomaterials in recent years, where biological resources such as plants, animals, and microbes are used as efficient reducing and stabilizing agents for nanoparticle synthesis. Eco-friendly synthesis methods are inexpensive, simple to use, and enable the synthesis of nanoparticles with controlled shapes and sizes, robustly impacting the biological application of nanoparticles.
We invite all researchers to submit their findings related to metal- and metal-oxide-based nanomaterials for biological applications.
Overall, the present Special Issue, titled “Eco-friendly Synthesis, Characterization, and Biological Applications of Nanoparticles”, aims to collect original research articles and reviews concerning the eco-friendly synthesis of metal and metal-oxides nanoparticles, characterization studies, and other possible applications (including biomedicine and environmental research).
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
