Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of lasers for the synthesis of nanomaterials continues to represent an important area of academic and applied research. There are numerous approaches by which nanomaterials can be synthesized by laser techniques. These include, for example, laser ablation of solids in different environments, gases, and liquids and laser fragmentation of micro-powders. We invite authors to contribute to this Special Issue with original research articles and comprehensive review articles covering the most recent progress and new developments in the field of laser synthesis of nanomaterials. This Special Issue aims to cover a broad range of subjects, from fundamental mechanisms and modeling of nanomaterial synthesis to the design and characterization of novel schemes of laser installations for the synthesis of nanoparticles and nanostructures. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- laser synthesis of nanocomposites;
- green laser synthesis of nanoparticles in liquids;
- laser design and the preparation of novel nanotextured/nanostructured surfaces for SERS and other applications;
- fundamental aspects of the laser synthesis of nanomaterials;
- laser synthesis of nanoparticles for medical and biological applications; and
- industrial-scale laser synthesis of nanoparticles.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
