Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After our successful first two volumes of the Special Issue “Nanoarchitectonics in Materials Science,” we decided to produce an additional Special Issue on this topic. Nanotechnology is now evolving and paving the way for a new kind of materials science—nanoarchitectonics. Bottom-up approaches that generate functional materials via self-assembly of constituent molecules have been developed in several research fields. These approaches are often based on simple intermolecular interactions between a limited number of constituent elements. In a departure from these conventional approaches, nanoarchitectonics goes beyond well-known self-assembly and related strategies. Rather, it aims to build material structures that contain many components and asymmetric, hierarchical motifs. Because nanoarchitectonics is such an exhaustive conceptual interdisciplinary field, it can be applied to a wide range of research areas, including hybrid/composite synthesis, structural control, sensing, catalysis, environmental remediation, energy production and storage, device formation, biology, and medicine. These topics are the subject of this Special Issue.

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.
