Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser material processing technologies have gained considerable importance in diverse industries due to the rapid growth of laser applications and the reduced cost of laser systems. To date, laser-derived technology, including laser melting, laser fragmentation, laser ablation, pulse laser deposition, etc., has been deemed as one outstanding and unique strategy for fabricating functional nanostructures and preparing advanced nanomaterials. In comparison to general chemical methods, advanced nanomaterials produced via laser fabrication present unique advantages, including rapid processing, controllability, having few chemical reagents, being applicable on a large scale, and being limitless in materials or media. Many international groups have made great contributions to our understanding of the generation mechanisms of nanomaterials/nanostructures, modeling of growth processes, up-scaling preparation, and the implementation of these ideas in the semiconductor manufacturing process, renewable energy, and bionic and biomedical applications.
Despite such progress and accumulation, advanced nanomaterials with more precise controllability and superior properties still need to be produced via laser fabrication. This considered, potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Pulse laser deposition in A vacuum or gas atmosphere;
- Laser fabrication (ablation, fragmentation, melting) in liquids;
- Laser processing of metals, carbon materials, polymers, ceramics, etc.;
- Interaction process of lasers and matters (solid/liquid/gas);
- Applications in energy storage and conversion, catalysis, biomedical, bionics, etc.;
- Generation mechanisms of nanomaterials or nanostructures
We welcome papers sharing recent research and advances in this field for publication in this Special Issue of Nanomaterials.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
