Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), as one of the allotropes of carbon, have been investigated by researchers for decades due to their outstanding optical, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties. In addition to these properties, CNTs are environmentally stable. CNTs have been incorporated into thin films and fibers for specific applications due to their excellent optoelectronic and mechanical properties, respectively. Thus, CNT films and fibers are drawing increased attention both from academic and industrial fields.
The Special Issue aims to collect the latest advances in the fabrication and application of CNT films and fibers. It will cover various topics, including, but not limited to, dry and wet deposition of thin films, dry and wet spinning of fibers, and applications ranging from optoelectronics to mechanics, e.g., photodetectors, photovoltaics, gas sensors, conductive fibers, mechanical applications that present the tensile strength of fibers, and composites consisting of CNT films or fibers. Topics such as mechanism investigation, advanced characterization techniques, and flexible/stretchable/wearable devices are especially welcome.

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.
