Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the preceding decades, a great attention has been devoted by the scientific community to the nanotechnology area, a research field which is focused on the design and development of a large and diversified class of composites, termed nanomaterials. These possess at least one dimension in the nanometer range. The miniaturization process endows these nanometric products with properties that differ compared to those of bulk materials or corresponding atoms and several efforts have been made to understand the correlation between the system architecture and the dependent chemical–physical properties, including magnetic, optical, and eletrical properties. Suitable and highly sophisticated top-down and bottom-up approaches have allowed researcher to obtain nanomaterials with suitably tuned characteristics like size and shape (e.g., spherical, tubular, star, rods, wires etc.). The same concepts have been employed to realize hybrid nanodevices based on the combination of multiple nanomaterials with different nature and peculiarities.
The results obtained in that field have given rise to a class of novel materials and devices with great potential for use in the nanotechnology field, with ultimate applications in electronics, energy, biomedicine as well as manufacturing and space industries.
The present Special Issue is seeking to outline the state of art and the recent innovations in the design, synthesis, characterization of these systems, as well as their possible applications in the nanotechnological field.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
