Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
5G is currently on everyone's lips. However, many of the advantages of this new standard can only be exploited with improved devices. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can disrupt electronic devices, equipment, and systems. With the new generation of mobile phones being especially designed for 5G technology, EMI shielding has become more and more important. As frequencies increase, so does interference. Without proper shielding, our brand-new phones would not work. Higher performance of 5G technology is only possible through increased frequencies. Although it has been allotted a low band frequency below 6 GHz, 5G technology is associated with millimeter wave frequencies (24–300GHz). The use of the large band of higher frequencies comes with new challenges with regard to electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic shielding. This can cause disruptive interference between individual components such as chips and antennas within the devices. In addition, electromagnetically active devices must not affect the safety of other systems in their environment. In particular, the internal shielding of components against each other has its technical limits. The classical methods of shielding by using metallic plates or metallic coatings is no longer suited for this new technology; therefore, there it is a need for new materials capable of providing dielectric characteristics for lower frequencies and conductive characteristics for higher frequencies. We welcome original papers, short articles, and reviews that report on the fabrication, characterization, integration, development, or application of such materials, as well as studies on environmental issues related to them.

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.
