Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In an effort to achieve economic growth, countries across the globe are rapidly depleting their limited natural resources to be used as inputs to produce goods and services. Such overexploitation of non-renewable resources has led to complex environmental problems such as global warming and environmental deterioration, as well as health risks. Nanotechnology has greatly impacted modern science and technology, and the development of 'cleaner' and 'greener' nanotechnologies in the areas of nanomaterials, biomaterials, environmental remediation, and catalysis can significantly improve health and provide environmental benefits. Environmental sustainability is required to conserve natural resources and protect global ecosystems for humankind. For this Special Issue, entitled “Recent Research Progress on Green Nanotechnology and Environmental Sustainability”, we invite authors to submit original research papers and review articles on a breadth of topics related to eco-friendly, greener, and/or sustainable methodologies in nanotechnology and environmental sustainability.
Below are a few suggested topics pertaining to green nanotechnology and environmental sustainability, but additional topics are also welcome.
- The green synthesis of nanoparticles/nanocomposites;
- Green nanotechnology for environmental remediation;
- Green biomaterials for tissue engineering;
- The sustainable fabrication of novel nanomaterials;
- The sustainable production of biopolymers;
- The bioconversion of e-wastes to value-added materials;
- The environmental and health implications of microplastics ;
- Biomass and catalysis.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
