Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The author reported that, “Tailoring the 2D-Ordered Linear-Chain Carbon-Based Nano- 2 Carriers Vibrational Signature and Functionality for Predictive Performance Enhancement of the Transformative Energetic Materials”,

“Tailoring the 2D-Ordered Linear-Chain Carbon-Based Nano- 2 Carriers Vibrational Signature and Functionality for Predictive 3 Performance Enhancement of the Transformative Energetic Materials”, The author should revise the title and make it more attractive.

The author should revise the abstract and make it small and attractive with a specific meaning.

The number of Keywords is meanless, so we suggested that the author should reduce keywords.

The introduction section should be revised, and the author added some specific views.

All figures make the same format.

The author should revise the Outlook and Perspectives and conclusions should be revised.

Reviewer 2 Report

I found the ideas presented in the manuscript very interesting and original. However it is a pity that the manuscript and the results are not presented in a good way. I found the structure of the manuscript not of a good quality and also the english style has not reached the required standard level for some parts of the text. There are some sections which can be considered fine but other are hard to understand. There some sentences of 4-5 lines, they are hard to understant and must be split. I propose to amend the manusript by considering the following comments and recommendations.

** Title: It is not clear and not simple. I propose to shorten it. If not you can replace it as follows: "Tailoring vibrational signature and functionality of 2D-ordered linear-chain Carbon-based nano-carriers for predictive performance enhancement of energetic materials".

** Manuscript structure: You have 11 sections. I propose to structure the paper in 4 ou 5 sections by fusing some sections and using subsections. You should precise the structure of the manuscript at the end of the introduction section (section 1), .i.e., indicate how the manuscript is organized, you gain in quality.

** Split long sentences by splitting them. It is better to use shorter sentences than long ones extending on 4 or 5 lines. Many parts should be rephrased. Try to improve the english style, the will let the reading more clear and easier.

** Uniformize or harmonize the used terms.

** Pay attention to verbs in connection with singular and plurial subjetcs.

** Some comments page per page.
