Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue welcomes contributions devoted to the synthesis, applications and properties of novel low dimensional functionalized nanofibers produced by electrospinning. Electrospinning is a simple, low cost and versatile technique to produce polymer based fibers with diameters in the tens to a few hundred nanometers, allowing for the exploration of their high aspect ratio, high specific surface area and mechanical flexibility for practical applications.
In these electrospun nanofibers, a wide variety of functional inclusions can be incorporated, such as dopants, molecular groups, magnetic, piezoelectric and metallic nanoparticles, quantum dots, biomaterials and others. In this way, these composite nanofibers can be rendered active or responsive to a variety of magnetic, electric, optical, thermal, mechanical and environmental stimuli, considerably widening their applicability. Due to this, they have been proposed for incorporation in novel technologies and solutions for the electronics, photonics, energy, environmental, food, biomedical and other industries.
This Special Issue will emphasize recent theoretical and experimental advances covering the above topics. It will also aim to address and report novel low dimensional nanocomposite fiber materials and their synthesis methods, new functional and multifunctional nanofiber properties, as well as innovative applications that have been proposed or implemented from them in recent years.

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.
