Metal-Based Nanoparticles as Antimicrobial Agents: An Overview

Elena Sánchez‐López, Daniela Gomes, Gerard Esteruelas et al. · 9 Feb 2020

Metal-based nanoparticles have been extensively investigated for a set of biomedical applications. According to the World Health Organization, in addition to their reduced size and selectivity for bacteria, metal-based nanoparticles have also proved to be effective against pathogens listed as a priority. Metal-based nanoparticles are known to have non-specific bacterial toxicity mechanisms (they do not…

Biomedical Applications of Silver Nanoparticles: An Up-to-Date Overview

Alexandra-Cristina Burdușel, Oana Gherasim, Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu et al. · 31 Aug 2018

During the past few years, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) became one of the most investigated and explored nanotechnology-derived nanostructures, given the fact that nanosilver-based materials proved to have interesting, challenging, and promising characteristics suitable for various biomedical applications. Among modern biomedical potential of AgNPs, tremendous interest is oriented toward the therapeutically enhanced personalized healthcare practice. AgNPs…

Polymeric Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery: Recent Developments and Future Prospects

Belén Begines, Tamara Ortíz, María Pérez‐Aranda et al. · 19 Jul 2020

The complexity of some diseases-as well as the inherent toxicity of certain drugs-has led to an increasing interest in the development and optimization of drug-delivery systems. Polymeric nanoparticles stand out as a key tool to improve drug bioavailability or specific delivery at the site of action. The versatility of polymers makes them potentially ideal for…

Impact of Microplastics and Nanoplastics on Human Health

Maxine Swee-Li Yee, Ling‐Wei Hii, Chin-King Looi et al. · 16 Feb 2021

Plastics have enormous impacts to every aspect of daily life including technology, medicine and treatments, and domestic appliances. Most of the used plastics are thrown away by consumers after a single use, which has become a huge environmental problem as they will end up in landfill, oceans and other waterways. These plastics are discarded in…

Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles and Their Biomedical Applications

Pooja Tiwari, Komal Vig, Vida A. Dennis et al. · 14 Jun 2011

Metal nanoparticles are being extensively used in various biomedical applications due to their small size to volume ratio and extensive thermal stability. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are an obvious choice due to their amenability of synthesis and functionalization, less toxicity and ease of detection. The present review focuses on various methods of functionalization of GNPs and…

Nanomaterials template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Nanomaterials format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Nanomaterials template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Nanomaterials use?
Nanomaterials uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Nanomaterials 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Nanomaterials?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Nanomaterials document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Nanomaterials template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Nanomaterials format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Nanomaterials?
Nanomaterials - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Nanomaterials PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Nanomaterials template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Nanomaterials template cost?
You can start writing in the Nanomaterials template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Nanomaterials PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
