Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to publish some of your recent works in this Special Issue dedicated to mesoporous silica composites. I see this not only as a collection of papers but rather as an opportunity to share our ideas and results that could inspire us for future projects and even bring us closer in a time of social distancing. Topics include any subject related to mesoporous silica nanocomposites, from synthesis, properties, to applications. Mesoporous silica offers two main unique properties that are exploited in most applications: highly specific surface area and ordered porous structure. Therefore, we encourage works that focus on how these properties have been tailored and integrated with other required qualities to obtain a synergism in the development of a new or a better composite material dedicated to a specific purpose. It is well known that biomedical applications have had a large momentum in recent years, and many manuscripts will be expected from this area, but mesoporous silica composites have also found their way to other important fields such as photonics, electronics, catalysis, and energy. As such, you are welcome to discover how varied and interesting the subjects are and how they are linked by this special material of mesoporous silica.
Prof. Dr. Cristian Matei

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.
