Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon nanomaterials have revolutionized the field of materials science, and their multifunctional applications continue to expand. From the discovery of graphene's remarkable properties to the development of novel carbon nanotubes and other carbon-based structures, these materials have opened up new possibilities for various industries. This Special Issue, titled "Carbon Nanomaterials for Multifunctional Applications", aims to explore the latest advances in harnessing the unique properties of carbon nanomaterials for diverse applications. Carbon nanomaterials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes, exhibit exceptional properties, including high mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and a large surface area. These attributes make them invaluable for a wide range of applications, from electronics and energy storage to aerospace and biomedical devices.
We invite researchers to contribute their original research articles, communications, and reviews to this Special Issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel Fabrication Techniques: Exploring innovative methods for the synthesis and production of carbon nanomaterials, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in terms of structure, purity, and scalability.
- Design of Multifunctional Materials: Investigating the design and development of advanced materials that incorporate carbon nanomaterials to achieve multifunctionality. This may include flexible composites, coatings, and hybrids with tailored properties.
- Advanced Characterization: Presenting cutting-edge techniques and tools for characterizing the microstructure and properties of carbon nanomaterials, shedding light on their behavior in various environments.
- Applications in Emerging Fields: Highlighting the use of carbon nanomaterials in exciting and emerging fields, such as nanoelectronics, sensor technology, energy conversion and storage, catalysis, and more.
- Carbon Nanomaterials for Environmental Solutions: Exploring how carbon nanomaterials can address environmental challenges, such as gas adsorption and separation, water purification, and sustainable energy generation.
- Safety and Toxicology: Discussing the safety and potential toxicological concerns associated with the use of carbon nanomaterials, along with strategies for responsible research and application.
