Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on Nanomaterials will collect high-quality and pioneer scientific works. Contributions from both academia and industry are welcome and expected to contribute to the generation of a synergy space. The aim is to provide the state of the art of composites based on nanomaterials with multifunctional properties.

The Special Issue will focus on different preparation methods as well as the characterization of advanced multifunctional composites. Additionally, properties and proof-of-concept applications will help to provide a landscape of the future of these novel materials.

The readers will find research works about some of the following topics:

  • Synthesis of multifunctional composited using nanomaterials;
  • Organic/inorganic multifunctional nanocomposites;
  • Advanced preparation methods of composites;
  • New characterization techniques for functional nanomaterials;
  • Theoretical studies and modeling;
  • Physical and chemical properties;
  • Proof-of-concept experiments for potential applications.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.

The purpose of this study is to obtain a bio-based coating with good functional activity and self-healing ability, demonstrating its potential in food, materials, and other application fields. Plastic coatings can cause serious environmental pollution. It was a good solution to replace plastic coatings with degradable coatings. However, the development of degradable coatings in the fields of food and materials was limited due to their insufficient antibacterial ability and weak comprehensive properties. Therefore, chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with gallic acid (GA) were self-assembled with gelatin (GE) to prepare high-performance, degradable, self-healing bio-based nanocomposite coatings with antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The oxygen permeability of GE nanocomposite coatings decreased gradually with the addition of NPs, and the barrier properties increased significantly. At the same time, due to the excellent antioxidant and antibacterial ability of GA, the antioxidant effect of the nanocomposite coatings increased by 119%, and the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) increased by 32% and 58%, respectively, compared with the pure GE coatings. In addition, the nanocomposite coatings can be repaired within 24 h after being scratched at room temperature. Finally, GA coated with chitosan nanoparticles can significantly delay the escape of GA, and the retardation of gallic acid release exceeded 89% in simulated solutions after 24 h immersion, extending the service life of the nanocomposite coatings.
