Scope
The interest in developing new nanomaterials has been growing over the last decades with multiple new advances in manufacturing, modifying, characterizing, and, more recently, applying nanomaterials and nanostructures at both scientific and industrial levels. Nanomaterials and Nanostructures topic examines nanomaterials of different dimensions (0-D, 1-D, and 2-D) without limitation in terms of geometry or morphology to give a broad overview of their potential use and current challenges. The scope of this topic includes nanomaterials and nanostructures of different natures, such as metallic, ceramic, and polymeric ones, but also any other combination of these to create nanocomposites and other inorganic approximations that do not fit properly in the previously categorized origins. For each of the main nanomaterial families, three different aspects or levels will be dealt with: synthesis or manufacturing, characterization, and application in different technological areas such as transportation technologies, energy production and storage, health, and electronic and communications technology.
