Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanostructured textiles are specifically designed for certain uses in daily and professional life. They can provide protection against UV radiation, microbial attack, cold, heat, fire and liquids; can be conductive; release fragrances; serve as flexible sensors; have a specially designed surface for better adhesion; and more. Improved performance and new functionalities of textiles are achieved through their nanotechnological modification, such as the application of nanocoatings and nanostructures and the development of nanofibres and textile nanocomposites, as well as the plasma nanomodification of the textile surface.
The aim of the Special Issue "Nanostructured Textiles" is to collect and disseminate the latest nanotechnology research and developments in the textile field. The researchers working in this field are invited to contribute original papers or reviews to this Special Issue of Molecules.
Dr. Marija Gorjanc

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.
