Call For Papers: Advanced Functional Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications

Guest edited by Nguyễn T. K. Thanh, Chenjie Xu, Yu Shrike Zhang and Sylvie Begin

We are delighted to announce a call for papers for our latest online themed collection in Nanoscale on “Advanced Functional Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications” that is being guest edited by Professor Nguyễn T. K. Thanh (University College London, UK), Professor Chenjie Xu (City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong), Professor Yu Shrike Zhang (Harvard Medical School, USA) and Professor Sylvie Begin (University of Strasbourg, France).

Scope

• Optical, electrical and magnetic properties of nanoparticles for biomedical applications.
• Rational design and synthesis of nanomaterials for transdermal drug delivery and biosensing.
• Rational design and synthesis of nanomaterials for regenerative medicine.
• Nanomaterials and their composites for biofabrication.

Deadline for Submission: 1^st August 2021

Although promotion of the collection is scheduled for late 2021, articles will be published online as soon as they’re accepted and they will appear in normal journal issues.

Authors are welcome to submit original research in the form of a Communication article or Full Paper. There is also the opportunity to write a review article, in the form of a Review or Minireview, and if you would be interested in this please let us know beforehand by emailing the journal inbox at nanoscale-rsc@rsc.org.

Manuscripts should be submitted via the Royal Society of Chemistry’s online submission service available at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/nr. Please add a “note to the editor” in the submission form when you submit your manuscript to say that this is a submission for the themed collection. The Editorial Office reserves the right to check suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of the collection.

All submissions will be subject to rigorous peer review to meet the usual high standards of Nanoscale.

If you have any questions about the journal or the collection, then Edward Gardner, the Development Editor for Nanoscale, would be happy to answer them. You can contact him at the email address given above.

With best wishes,

We invite you to submit to this exciting themed issue.

Submission Deadline: 30 April 2013

The issue aims to highlight the latest developments in the synthesis and processing of multifunctional bioactive nano-objects, as well as their biomedical applications. Topics will include:

– Design, synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles
– Biofunctionalisation of nanoparticles
– Biocompatibility
– Targeting strategies
– Drug delivery systems
– Biomedical Imaging (e.g. MRI, MPI, SPECT, PET)
– Therapeutics (e.g, hyperthermia, curie theraphy)
– Diagnostics (e.g., enzymatic assay, immunoassay, biosensing)
– Biodistribution/bioelimination
– Nanotoxicology

The deadline for submissions to this themed issue is 30 April 2013, though submissions before this date are, of course, welcomed. It is anticipated that the themed issue will be published in August 2013, accepted papers will be published online as soon as they are ready to avoid any delay.

• Submissions for the themed issue should be high quality manuscripts of original, unpublished research
• Both Communications and Full Papers can be submitted for consideration
• All submissions to the journal are subject to rigorous, fair peer review against our usual very high standards
• Submit in any reasonable format via our online submission service (please indicate your manuscript is intended for the “Biomedical” themed issue). Please make a note that the manuscript is for the themed issue in the “Comments to Editor” section or in a cover letter uploaded as a manuscript file.

Please see our Author Guidelines for more information.  We  hope you will be able to submit to this themed issue.

Nanoscale themed issue: Self-propelled Nano- and Microsystems

Guest Editors: Martin Pumera (Nanyang Technological University), Samuel Sanchez (IFW Dresden)

Deadline for Submission: 1st September 2012

Nanoscale is delighted to announce a high-profile themed issue on “Self-propelled Nano- and Microsystems”. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit to this themed issue.

Taking a lead from Nature, artificial nanorobots have been designed which are capable of moving autonomously by the conversion of physical or chemical sources into mechanical energy. These tiny devices can be functionalized with different biomolecules in order to carry out the specific tasks, such as capture and transport of cargo. This themed issue will include high quality articles across this exciting, fast-moving field – from synthesis and mechanisms of motion/transport of cargoes, to applications.

Submit in any reasonable format using our online submissions service

Communications and full papers of high quality original, unpublished research will be considered

All submissions are subject to rigorous peer review

Please indicate upon submission it is intended for this themed issue

Nanoscale themed issue: Metallic Clusters

Guest Editors: Rongchao Jin (Carnegie Mellon University), Sang-Kee Eah (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), Yong Pei (Xiangtan University, China)

We are delighted to announce a high-profile themed issue on “Metallic Clusters”, to be published in the exciting new high-impact journal Nanoscale in 2012. We invite you to contribute to this themed issue.

The aim of this issue is to address the fascinating field and recent discoveries in metallic nanoclusters. The themed issue will include high quality articles on metal nanocluster synthesis, properties (experimental and theoretical work), and applications.

Deadline for Submission: 29^th February 2012

• Submissions for the themed issue should be high quality manuscripts of original, unpublished research.
• Both Communications and Full Papers can be submitted for consideration.
• All submissions to the journal are subject to rigorous, fair peer review against our usual very high standards, and if accepted for publication will benefit from high exposure.
