Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, nanomaterials have garnered increasing attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties. The application of nanotechnology and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) represents an effective alternative in the simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of cancer; this is via the use of nanotheranostic particles that facilitate the early-stage detection and selective destruction of cancer cells. The ability to control the dimensions and the specific surface through the judicious choice of synthesis methods, as well as the possibility of targeting the target organ by applying an internal magnetic field, make these nanoparticles effective alternatives for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. These applications have already changed our lives to the point that the intelligent design of novel nanostructured magnetic materials is the key to engineering innovative products and creating new technologies.
This Special Issue of Materials aims to provide an overview of recent advances in the synthesis, design, processing and application of magnetic nanoparticles and nanomaterials with biomedical applications, including hyperthermia, MRI contrast, magnetic bio-separation or targeted drug delivery.
We welcome the submission of full papers, communications, and reviews. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Magnetic nanomaterials in medicine (biomedical devices, drug delivery, imaging etc.)
- Magnetic nanomaterials for separation technologies;
- Magnetic nanomaterials in sensing systems;
- Design of nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

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.

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.
