Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoparticles and nanostructured materials, due to their tunable physicochemical properties and their enhanced performance with respect to the corresponding bulk counterparts, represent an active area of research due to their impact in many application fields. In this framework, recent progress in the synthesis of nanomaterials and the fundamental understanding of their properties have led to significant advances in different areas of research.
A bottom-up approach based on supramolecular chemistry, with a convergent methodology, allows obtaining fascinating samples with high performance and low costs. This non-conventional methodology is crucial for the design and synthesis of novel systems with optimized structures and properties. It overcomes the limits of covalent synthesis and provides the requested structures whose flexibility and tunability are typical of the dynamic nature of non-covalent interactions.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions of original research papers or comprehensive reviews that demonstrate or summarize significant advances in self-assembled systems investigated for engineering nanostructures with peculiar architectures and functionalities.

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.
