Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology represents a new frontier in the biomedical field regarding the development of novel materials and devices, as well as in diagnosis and imaging techniques.
At the nanometric scales, some materials show distinct properties and functionalities that can be exploited for many different biomedical applications, including the development of nanostructured scaffolds for tissue engineering, nanosystems for the delivery of drugs and bioactive molecules, nanometric coatings with antimicrobial properties and improved bioactivity for specific medical purposes. In this regard, this Special Issue aims at collecting the most recent progress in the development of nanotechnology-based approaches for providing new therapeutic options and new effective tools for treating specific diseases, with a special focus on the development of nanostructured materials and coatings and their mechanisms of interaction with the biological world.

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.
