Advances in Research on Graphene and Related Materials: From Preparation and Tuning Properties to Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In this special Issue is intended to present from basis of Graphene properties towards advances in the cutting edge of knowledge focused on last studies in progress. In this context it is invited to all potential contributors to submit their Research insights, full Research articles, Reviews, and commentaries and letters related. In this regard, it is intended to show and discuss Research in many topics such as; i)semiconductors, ii) Opto-electronics, iii) Nano-Optics; iv) Electromagnetic fields, v) Plasmonics, vi) Quantum Dots; vii) Quantum emissions; viii) Quantum phenomena; ix) Thermo-responsive properties, etc.. In this manner many approaches and strategies are attended to present and develop, as for example i) design and synthesis of Optical active Nanoplatforms; ii) chemical modifications of Graphene and derivatives; iii) chemical modification of substrates; iv) Hybrid Nanocomposites; ii) Heterojunctions; iii) Nano-, Micro-devices; etc. Moreover the implication of Graphene based materials within Bioapplications open the possibility to propose Research works focusing on Bioconjugation and uses in Nanotechnology from Nanomedicine to frontiers in Quantum Biology. In this manner it is attended to cover a wide spectrum of interest involucred.

However, if there are new topics and themes related; they are all welcomed as well. By this manner, new proposals and ideas out of scope are expected to receive.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
