IMPACT FACTOR 5.076 an Open Access Journal by MDPI Nanoparticles in Theranostics Guest Editors: Message from the Guest Editors Prof. Dr. Subramanian Tamil Dear Colleagues, Selvan Department of Chemistry, Theranostics is a new term which combines therapy and Myongji University, Yongin 449- diagnostics. Theranostic nanomedicine is an emerging 728 (South Korea) paradigm, involving the use of nanoparticles or other [email protected] nanomaterials for diagnostics, imaging, and therapeutic Prof. Dr. Wolfgang J. Parak applications. In recent years, much research efforts have Fachbereich Physik, Philipps been devoted toward the goal of developing different Universität Marburg, Renthof 7, nanoplatforms for theranostic nanomedicine applications. 35037 Marburg, Germany Both polymeric and inorganic nanoparticles have been wolfgang.parak@ physik.uni- thoroughly enjoying their uses in the area of biological marburg.de imaging and therapy. Dr. Pablo Del Pino This Special Issue focuses on the use of emerging Laboratory of Biofunctional polymeric nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles Nanomaterials, CIC biomaGUNE, Paseo Miramon 182, 20009 (quantum dots, magnetic, upconversion and other Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain graphene nanoparticles) in theranostics applications.

At the heart of these fields are the synthesis, characterization, modeling, and applications of new materials with lower nanometer-scale dimensions, which we call “nanomaterials”. These materials can exhibit unusual mesoscopic properties and include nanoparticles, coatings and thin films, metal– organic frameworks, membranes, nano-alloys, quantum dots, self-assemblies, 2D materials such as graphene, and nanotubes. Our journal, Nanomaterials, has the goal of publishing the highest quality papers on all aspects of nanomaterial science to an interdisciplinary scientific audience. All of our articles are published with rigorous refereeing and open access. Author Benefits Open Access:— free for readers, with article processing charges (APC) paid by authors or their institutions. High Visibility: indexed within Scopus, SCIE (Web of Science), PubMed, PMC, CAPlus / SciFinder, Inspec, and many other databases.
