The first volume in an exciting new series, Annual Review of Nano Research, this formidable collection of review articles sees renowned contributors from eight different countries tackle the most recent advances in nanofabrication, nanomaterials and nanostructures.The broad coverage of topics in nanotechnology and nanoscience also includes a special focus on the hot topic of biomedical applications of nanomaterials. The important names contributing to the volume include: M R Bockstaller (USA), L Duclaux (France), S Forster (Germany), W Fritzsche (Germany), L Jiang (China), C Lopez (Spain), W J Parak (Germany), B Samori (Italy), U S Schubert (The Netherlands), S Shinkai (Japan), A Stein (USA), S M Hou (China), and Y N Xia (USA).The volume serves both as a handy reference for experts active in the field and as an excellent introduction to scientists whose expertise lies elsewhere but who are interested in learning about this cutting-edge research area.

In this current 49th volume of the journal "Journal of Nano Research" we present to readers the collection of peer-reviewed papers by results of scientific and engineering researches from field of nanomaterials and applied nanotechnologies. We hope this collection will be useful and interesting for a wide range of engineers, scientists and students whose activity is related with creation and using of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in the different branches of human activity.

This periodical edition includes peer-reviewed scientific and engineering papers on all aspects of research in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnologies and wide practical application of the achieved results.

The 56th volume of the "Journal of Nano Research" presents readers with the collection of peer-reviewed papers by the results of the research from the field of synthesis and the use of various nanomaterials and nanostructures. We hope that this volume of the journal will be useful and interesting for a wide range of engineers, scientists, and students whose activity is related with the creation and using of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in different branches of human activity.

This topical volume of the Journal of Nano Research captures a very broad cross-section of the synthesis and functional properties of nanomaterials that rely on solid and liquid diffusion processes. The materials covered range from carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles and powders, nanocrystals, nanofluids, and nanoporous composites to graphene.

The 72nd volume of the "Journal of Nano Research" has been collected from the peer-reviewed articles reflecting the practical research results in the synthesis and properties analysis of nanomaterials and nanostructures for various cases of industrial applications. The research results will find practical use in micro- and optoelectronics, chemical production, technologies of membrane water desalination, and water treatment by the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, intensification of plant growth, and packaging of agricultural products.
