Special Issue Information

Dear Colleague,

This Special Issue will study advancements in the applications and understanding of thermal transport in nanostructured materials and their composites. With the ever-increasing demand for efficient thermal management across critical sectors such as electronics, energy systems, and advanced manufacturing, the study of thermal transport and management has become increasingly important. The Special Issue will encompass a broad range of topics, including thermal transport mechanisms, thermal energy transfer, thermophysical properties, interfacial thermal resistance in nanostructured materials, and the influence of nanoscale effects on micro- and macroscale thermal applications. Contributions highlight both experimental and theoretical insights, as well as the latest findings and developments in the field, while addressing challenges in materials design, characterization, and application. This Special Issue will showcase state-of-the-art advancements and bridge the gap between fundamental science and practical applications, offering a comprehensive perspective on the thermal behavior of nanostructures and their composites for next-generation technologies.

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.
