Application and Performance Analysis of Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to submit your contribution to this Special Issue, entitled “Application and Performance Analysis of Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials”.

The trends shaping materials science have applications across various industries: carbon nanomaterials, semiconductor nanodevices, nanotech power applications, green nanotechnology, nanocomposites, nanosensors, nanofilms, nanoencapsulation, energy nanomaterials, and computational nanotechnology. These trends are driven by atomic-scale innovations, material science breakthroughs, and microscopy advancements. Nanotechnology allows tailoring material structures at extremely small scales, leading to specific properties. Nanotechnology can make materials stronger, lighter, more durable, more reactive, more sieve-like, and better insulation or electrical conductors for nanoparticles.

This Special Issue explores the innovative applications and comprehensive performance evaluations of nanoparticles and nanomaterials across various sectors. Its scope is wide-ranging, spanning from health and medicine, where they serve in drug delivery and diagnostics, to electronics, where they enhance device properties and efficiency. Additionally, this Special Issue scrutinizes their roles in environmental applications like pollution control and water purification, as well as in food and agricultural engineering, civil engineering, and energy sectors such as battery technology and solar cells.

Furthermore, this Special Issue places a strong emphasis on the analytical methods used to evaluate the performance and safety of nanoparticles and nanomaterials. It discusses advancements in characterization techniques that help understand particle behavior at the nanolevel. Contributions also explore the economic and environmental implications of nanoparticle and nanomaterial production and usage, including life-cycle assessments and sustainability evaluations. Regulatory challenges and compliance with global standards are also significant themes, reflecting the growing attention to governance in nanotechnology deployment. Research articles and review articles on experimental techniques, mathematical methods, simulation, or computation are welcome.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
