Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ferroelectrics materials are widely investigated due their unique nonlinear, piezoelectric, piroelectric, electrocaloric and other properties. Currently, special attention is being paid to the control of ferroelectric properties at the nanoscale via the synthesis and investigation of objects with restricted geometry: nanoparticles, thin films, composites with nanoparticles, ferroelectric nanoregions and domains. New phenomena such as size effect, flexoelectricity, ferroelectric domain dynamics and others are important in the control and modification of the properties of ferroelectrics at the nanoscale. Therefore, nanoscale ferroelectrics are perspective materials for the exploitation of modern devices such as memristrors and memtransistors, negative capacitance transistors, Mott transistors, new tunneling devices, harvesting devices and sensors. Miniaturized integrated electronics applications also require further development and a deeper understanding of the technology and functioning of nanoferroelectric materials, as well as the investigation and optimization of the modified properties.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present a contemporary view of ferroelectric multifunctional materials, both at nanoscale and in a general view, which are highly important materials for electronics applications. This Special Issue aims to collect manuscripts dealing with all aspects of the structure, synthesis, properties, technologies, and investigation techniques of ferroelectric nanoparticles, thin films, composites, all forms of ferroelectrics and related smart materials.

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.
