Special Issue Information
Crystalline micro- and nano-materials based on organic and inorganic molecules are a rapidly progressing field of medical and other biochemical applications. In focus are solids with functional biochemical properties which can be used in medical, pharmaceutical, environmental, microbial, energy and many other biochemical applications. Although synthesis of crystalline micro- and nano-materials have been largely carried out in recent years; however, the applications of these materials still face problems in different fields in practice.
With the topic of crystalline micro- and nano-materials for medical and other biochemical applications, it is important to focus more on the application aspects in the near future for the discipline development. First of all, the fundamental theories of the synthesis methods need to be revealed to control the crystallization process and other engineering aspects. With the well-designed materials, studies at molecular, cellular and higher levels need to be performed to access the materials in medical and other biomedical applications. In vivo and in vitro studies and higher-levels clinical studies are required for these materials to be used on the market. Mathematical modelling may be performed to improve the technology. Besides, ethical research and social-science studies assist the development of these crystalline micro- and nano-materials for medical and other biochemical applications.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
