Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is playing an increasingly central role in many different fields; in particular, it can represent a precious tool in tackling basic global environmental concerns. Nanomaterial size, shape, crystallinity, and surface can provide unique physical and chemical properties, such as high surface area, well-defined structure, high dispersibility, and high reactivity, to be exploited for the destruction of environmental pollutants, remediation purposes, or energy applications. On the other hand, the relatively recent development of nanotechnology requires the development of green syntheses of nanomaterials and a deeper understanding of the fate of nanomaterials once released into the environment and their potential toxicity.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the progress and fundamental aspects for the application of nanomaterials to address and help solve environmental issues that have an impact on the Earth and human wellbeing, as well as to contribute to a clear picture of their impact on different ecosystems.
Dr. Irene Russo Krauss
Guest Editor
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.
