Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague，
We would like to invite all scientists, researchers, and scholars in the field of multi-functional materials and applications, particularly those who are participants in the 19th International Conference on Multi-functional Materials and Applications (ICMMA 2025), to submit their original research papers, short communications, reviews, and mini-reviews to this Special Issue of Nanomaterials, entitled “Multifunctional Materials and Applications: Basic Nanomaterials, Catalysis, Composites, Electronics, and Biomaterials: 2nd Edition”.
The conference topics and scope of this Special Issue cover all aspects of basic nanomaterials, catalysis, composites, electronics, and biomaterials, and this issue will be divided into the following main sections:
- Nanomaterials related to design, synthesis, and modifications;
- Nanomaterials related to characterization;
- Nanomaterials related to applications.
These detailed categories in the field of nanomaterials will be devoted to recent advances in the synthesis, modification, and characterization of sensors, as well as the energy conversion and storage of nanomaterials. This includes materials that may be used as biomaterials, the requirements they must meet, and the problems that may be encountered in their use. Approaches from different fields of science (e.g., chemistry, engineering, human health, and medicine) to the design, characterization, modification, and use of nanoscale biomaterials will be considered. Studies from these fields should focus on the latest research progress in all aspects related to composites and environmentally friendly multi-functional nanomaterials, including methods for their synthesis and characterization and their possible applications. This Special Issue will particularly be devoted to all advanced ceramic functional materials that are related to nanomaterials, including environmentally friendly materials used for nanofabrication and their applications.
We kindly encourage you to submit a manuscript regarding one of the above topics to this Special Issue.

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 2400 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.
