**Preface to "Carbon-Based Materials"**

This book contains publications included in the Special Issue of *Materials* entitled "Carbon-Based Materials", which appeared in print in 2021. The aim of this Special Issue was to present the state-of-the-art research progress in the field of carbon-based nanomaterials and to demonstrate their growing importance in many fields. The goal of this book is to present different studies on the fabrication and physical and mechanical properties of various carbon nanostructures, which will further demonstrate the importance of this subject. Both experimental and simulation works are included to the book. We believe that this book will provide a useful update of the newest results, trends, and lines of research in this field and will assist in planning further studies.

This book is targeted toward professionals, researchers, and graduate students working in a field of nanomaterials.

As a Guest Editor, I would like to express thanks to the publisher, MDPI, and particularly to Ms. Fannie Xu, Editor, for providing extensive help, guidance, and encouragement in preparing this publication.
