Aim:
Dear Colleagues,
In last couple of decades, nanomaterials have received a lot of research interest in terms of syntheses, characterizations, and individual applications. Of course nanomaterials in pure and hybrid forms have much more scopes towards nurturing our day-to-day life but this aspect has been less explored. In my opinion, the applied aspects of nanomaterials should get proper attention now and this special issue will focus on potentials of various nanomaterials towards developing the cutting-edge technologies for our society.
History:
The term 'nanomaterial' was coined in ~1960 but if one carefully looks into the literature, these dimensionally confined materials were quite much in medical practice in ancient times (Indian-Ayurveda, Greeks, Middle East, etc.). The fundamental research about the nanomaterials has been revisited in last couple of decades (from the huge literature, I can say,) and this field has to see the potentials of nanomaterials towards day-to-day appliances in different new technologies. New and innovative synthesis strategies should be developed which offer not only fabrications but their easy and compact integration opportunities in various technologies. Experimental physics, materials, chemistry, biological, pharmaceutical, and other interdisciplinary research communities should joint together at one platform to understand the application potentials of nanomaterials, however, mathematics, fundamental physics, computational materials science community should help in developing and understanding unique physical and chemical properties of pure and hybrid nanomaterials in different forms.
Scope:
This special issue is dedicated towards understanding the structure-property relationships of advance stage pure and hybrid nanomaterials using innovative synthesis strategies (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.). The discussed nanomaterials should exhibit application potentials in different interdisciplinary directions. Fundamental studies about such materials would also be in the scope. The nano-ethics related articles which are of social interest are also welcome. The covered topics also include: plasmonics, photonics, electronics, energy, electrochemistry, sensing, photocatalysis, water purification, packaging, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancerous, 3D nanoengineering, porous materials, composites, carbons, hydrogels, advanced ceramics, and other relevant nanomaterials and applications. Application aspects of nanomaterials (pure and hybrid) are must the submitted articles to be considered in this issue.

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.
