Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mesoporous silica-based materials have attractive features, such as high specific surface areas, ease of functionalization with various organic compounds, and hosting/support properties (for adsorbed species, catalysts, macromolecules, nano-objects, or biomolecules). These features are expected to favor mass transport and/or charge transfer, and could also contribute to improved selectivity of the detection (selective recognition, permselective barrier) as well as long-term durability (mechanical stability of the porous framework), showing promising potential in analytical applications for food safety, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnosis.
This Special Issue titled “Mesoporous silica-based materials for analytical applications” will report the recent developments and advances in the preparation, functionalization, and analytical applications of mesoporous silica-based materials. We welcome the submission of original research, reviews, mini-reviews, and perspective articles on themes.

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.
