Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional nanomaterials with optical, thermal, magnetic, electrical, or acoustic effects have exhibited great prospects in biomedical sciences in recent years. By designing the structures, functions, and response modes of nanomaterials, precise biotechnologies can be established not only for better understanding of biological processes but also for improving the therapeutic efficacy of disease and the accuracy of biodetection, which make significant contributions to improvements to human health.
This Special Issue will focus on recent progress in functional nanomaterials for building a precise biotechnology. The main objective is to give prominence to material science research, including the fabrication, modification, and biomedical applications of nanomaterials, which propose impactful concepts or potential strategies for drug delivery, cancer therapy, neuroscience, bioimaging, and biosensing. Attention will be particularly paid to the fields of remotely controlled nanomaterials and bionanomaterial interface, which could strengthen and provide insights into the directions of minimally invasive, biocompatible, and highly selective biotechnologies (at organ, tissue, or cell level) for the improvement of spatial and temporal accuracy of disease diagnosis and treatment, biomarker detection, and physiological process modulation.
Research and review papers involving original findings and perspectives in the scope of functional nanomaterials are welcome in this Special Issue.
Dr. Xingjun Zhu

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.
