Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the ever-evolving landscape of modern technology that is currently led by AI and robotics, the understanding and integration of nanomaterials holds immense promise for revolutionizing both manufacturing and healthcare sectors. Nanotechnology, with its unique properties and applications, offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and performance across various industries.
The Special Issue “The Future of Nanotechnology: Healthcare and Manufacturing” aims to explore the transformative potential of nanomaterials in these crucial domains. It seeks to gather cutting-edge research that addresses novel developments, challenges, and breakthroughs in utilizing nanomaterials to advance manufacturing processes and healthcare applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced synthesis, (self) assembly, advanced processing, and advanced manufacturing techniques (e.g., additive manufacturing, precision engineering); AI and/or nanomaterials enhanced 3D printing and design.
- Nanotechnology-enabled smart materials for improved functionality and performance.
- Battery materials and design, energy storage and harvest, optoelectronics, membranes.
- Advanced or automated characterization, theory, simulation, robotics and automation for enhanced precision and efficiency in manufacturing and medical interventions.
- Applications of nanomaterials in biomedical devices and diagnostics.
- AI-guided drug discovery and personalized medicine utilizing nanomaterial-based delivery systems. Nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems and therapeutics.
- Wearable devices, off- and on-body sensors for real-time health monitoring and diagnostics. Nanoscale sensors and actuators for healthcare monitoring and intervention.
- AI algorithms for smart manufacturing processes and healthcare management systems.
- Ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks for the integration of AI, robotics, and nanomaterials in healthcare and manufacturing.
Researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines are invited to contribute original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that explore the interdisciplinary nature of nanomaterial applications in shaping the future of manufacturing and healthcare. The Special Issue aims to foster dialog and collaboration among experts in nanotechnology, materials science, biomedical engineering, and related fields, facilitating the exchange of ideas to drive innovation and practical applications.
Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that highlight significant advancements, experimental findings, theoretical insights, and critical analyses that contribute to the broader understanding and implementation of nanomaterials in these pivotal sectors.
