Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The NANO KOREA Symposium, Korea’s largest symposium on nanoscale science and technology, is an opportunity to discuss major research results and up-to-date research trends in Korea and overseas. The NANO KOREA 2023 Symposium, which will be held from 5th to 7th of July 2023 in KINTEX, Korea, will consist of advanced programs on the main theme of “Nanodevice: Evolving into Intelligent Semiconductors”. This NANO KOREA Symposium 2023 Special Issue will contain research results and reviews on the most important and latest developments and future trends or visions for the convergence of various technologies from a nano to microscopic scale. The symposium programs will cover the following main topics:

  • (TS01) Nano Energy Harvesting;
  • (TS02) Nanotechnology for Carbon Neutrality;
  • (TS03) Nanotechnology for Next-Generation Energy Storage;
  • (TS04) Nanobiotechnology;
  • (TS05) Nanomedicine;
  • (TS06) Nanoelectronic Devices and Neuromorphic Devices;
  • (TS07) Nanophotonics;
  • (TS08) Hybrid Nanomaterials for Next-Generation Convergence Science and Technology;
  • (TS09) Nanofabrication Platform;
  • (TS10) Nano Metrology and Characterization;
  • (TS11) Nano-EHS and Standardization of NT;
  • (TS12) Materials Modeling and Data Science for NT;
  • (TS13) Nanotechnologies for Next-Generation Sensors.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Since contact lenses directly contact the cornea, the surface roughness of the lens may cause various side effects. In addition, gold nanoparticles can realize a variety of colors and characteristics depending on their shape and size. In this study, the surface roughness of tinted lenses containing gold nanoparticles of various sizes was analyzed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) at aspect ratio(surface to volume ratio) ranging from 1:1 to 1:10. The characteristics of the lenses were then confirmed. As a result, tinted lenses with different colors depending on the size of the gold nanoparticles were manufactured. The surface roughness of the lens decreased with increasing size of the gold nanoparticles. However, at aspect ratio of 1:10, increase in surface roughness was observed. In addition, it was confirmed that the wettability and antibacterial properties of the lens had the same effect according to the average surface roughness value. Therefore, it was confirmed that the addition of gold nanoparticles reduced the surface roughness of the lens, which had a great effect on properties such as wettability and antimicrobial properties of the lens. The produced copolymer controls the surface roughness of the lens, and thus it is judged that it can be used as a material for various ophthalmology applications. Full article
