Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global nanoparticle market size was estimated at about USD 1 billion in 2018, and according to various agencies, it is expected to register a CAGR of 10.3% over the forecast period. This notable growth is due mainly to the wide field of applications of nanotechnology, since it serves as a revolutionary and beneficial technology across medicine, transportation, agriculture, energy, materials, manufacturing, and the food sectors. In this framework, process intensification may play a fundamental role to favor the industrialization of nanoparticle production processes, usually carried out by lab-scale or pilot-scale equipment. The intensification of classical production processes, usually conducted batchwise, has becoming the main research field of various scholars and companies, considering the growing demand for nanoparticles in the global market. Higee equipment, such as rotating packed bed reactors and spinning disk reactors, has already demonstrated its suitability for the production of metallic and metal oxide nanoparticles, as well as jet impingement reactors, T-mixers, and microreactors.
In this Special Issue, interested researchers are invited to submit original research papers, as well as review articles, on any of the topics related to the production of nanoparticles, inorganic, organic or nano-composites, by means of a technology and equipment proper of a process intensification field. The submitted papers may report both experimental and modeling studies of novel equipment or new case studies performed via well-known intensified process technologies.

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.
