About this journal

Mobile phone users are kindly asked to rotate their devices horizontally while viewing the webpage in order to see the “Submit” and the “Editorial” sections.

Since January 1st 2019, as the Nanotechnology Reviews journal has been transformed to an Open Access model, there is only one Issue per Volume, and all the published manuscripts are continuously added to the same, current Issue in the actual Volume.

The Nanotechnology Reviews journal aims to promptly provide a forum of scientific information involving all aspects of nano science or nano engineering. The aim is to narrow the gap between pure science and engineering aspects of nanotechnology. The emphasis is on hot or emerging innovative topics of all areas of engineering science at the nanoscale, but in particular, nano-energy, nano-biomaterials, and nano-composites. The journal emphasizes interdisciplinary and multi-functional research and linkage between Nano Technology and Composites Technology. The scope of nanotechnology is expanding everyday. Thus, non-nano papers with potential significant future contributions to nano research may be welcomed on a case by case basis. These topics include, bio-inspired/soft materials, 3D/4D printing, molecular dynamics/multi-scale modeling, imaging, batteries, graphene/carbon nano tubes, nano-mechanics, among many others. The authors are encouraged to discuss the critical unresolved issues on nano-engineered materials, and all research results and conclusions must be substantiated by experiments and mathematical modeling. This journal welcomes both regular and review articles.

Abstract

Microwave-absorbing materials with good microwave absorption performance are of great interest for military applications and human health, which is threatened by electromagnetic radiation pollution. Herein, the design and synthesis of multi-componential metal-hybridized graphene composites via freeze drying and pyrolysis of ferrocene hydrazone complex precursor are reported. Various magnetic nanoparticles are loaded on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via controlling their pyrolysis temperature. The complex electromagnetic parameters of these hybrids are therefore regulated by the hybrid components. Among them, rGO hybridized by the sea-island-like Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 /FeNi 3 multi-componential metals shows a good balance of dielectric and magnetic constants. Thus, the improved impedance matching with free space brings about a superior electromagnetic wave absorption performance, especially on the effective absorption bandwidth. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of the hybrids is as low as −40.3 dB at 11 GHz with the RL bandwidth of −10 dB being 4.55 GHz (from 9.25 to 13.8 GHz).

Abstract

Successful repair of long-distance peripheral nerve injuries remains a challenge in the clinic. Rapid axon growth is a key to accelerate nerve regeneration. Herein, a pure silk fibroin (SF) hydrogel with a combination of high-strength and aligned microgrooved topographic structure is reported. The hydrogels exhibit excellent mechanical properties with high strength. Good biocompatibility also allows the hydrogels to support cell survival. Significantly, the hydrogel with aligned microgrooved structures enables the aligned growth of Schwann cells. Moreover, the hydrogel holds a strong capacity for promoting axon growth and guiding neurite sprouting. Thus, this micropatterned SF hydrogel would have great potential for peripheral nerve regeneration.

Abstract

For the high demand for cement-based materials in buildings, improving the performance of cement-based materials has become the focus of relevant researchers. In recent years, nanomaterials have broad prospects in many fields such as architecture by virtue of their “lightweight, high strength, and strong solidity” characteristics. As a modifier of cement-based materials, it has also become a research hotspot. Graphene oxide (GO) is one of the most representative graphene-based nanomaterials. Because of its extremely high specific surface area and excellent physical properties, it has greatly improved the properties of cement-based materials. GO acts as an enhancer of cement composites that brings people unlimited imagination. The research progress of GO-modified cement-based materials is reviewed. The purpose is to point out the limitations of current research and provide a reference for later research. The dispersion treatment of GO and the properties of its modified cement-based materials are analyzed and summarized. In addition, the further research work that is needed and future development prospect are discussed.

The corresponding author grants the journal the license to use of the article, by signing the License To Publish. Scanned copy of license should be sent to the journal, as soon as possible.

Authorship

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be named in an Acknowledgement section. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors (according to the above definition) and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the author list of the manuscript, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Peer-review process

Our standard policy requires each paper to be reviewed by at least two Referees and the peer-review process is single-blind. The Editors reserve the right to decline the submitted manuscript without review, if the studies reported are not sufficiently novel or important to merit publication in the journal. Manuscripts deemed unsuitable (insufficient originality or of limited interest to the target audience) are returned to the author(s) without review. The Editor seeks advice from experts in the appropriate field. Research articles and communications are refereed by a minimum of two reviewers, review papers by at least three. Authors are requested to suggest persons competent to review their manuscript. However, please note that this will be treated only as a suggestion, and the final selection of reviewers is exclusively the Editor's decision. The final decision of acceptance in made by Managing Editor or, in case of conflict, by the Editor-in-Chief.

Scientific misconduct

This journal publishes only original manuscripts that are not also published or going to be published elsewhere. Multiple submissions/publications, or redundant publications (re-packaging in different words of data already published by the same authors) will be rejected. If they are detected only after publication, the journal reserves the right to publish a Retraction Note. In each particular case Editors will follow COPE’s Core Practices and implement the advices.
