Special Issue on
Fluorescent Nanomaterials
CALL FOR PAPERS
During the past decade, fluorescent nanomaterials have been emerging as an area
of integrated multidisciplinary research due to their excellent optical properties
including superior brightness, high photostability, and tunable excitation and
emission wavelengths. Furthermore, considerable progress has also been made in
order to functionalize fluorescent nanomaterials that are biocompatible, environmentally friendly, and capable of multicolor detection. All of these properties have
enabled the fluorescent nanomaterials to be an important and highly promising
interdisciplinary research area. The applications in sensing and optical imaging for
biomedical, forensic, and environmental science have been demonstrated utilizing
novel fluorescent nanomaterials. Additionally, some of the fluorescent nanomaterials
have also exhibited capability to be used in the field of optoelectronics and
photocatalysis. The potential applications of these functional nanomaterials have
pioneered an interesting and emerging area of multidisciplinary research.

We invite investigators to submit original research articles and reviews that will
contribute to the field of fluorescent nanomaterial. We are interested in articles
describing the novel synthesis, functionalization, characterization, and applications
of the fluorescent nanomaterials. On the other hand, we are equally interested in
articles that describe fundamental mechanism to understand the electron excitation
dynamics and resonance energy/charge transfer process using experimental or
theoretical methods.
