Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement of carbon nanotechnology is currently at a stage where the development of functional micro/nano devices is a hot topic in the area. Key fundamental studies on the impressive properties of nanostructures, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and other related materials, have been thoroughly discussed for at least a decade and are well understood within the scientific community. Now, the focus has moved to the maximization of such a promising characteristic towards applications in a wide range of technological areas, spanning from energy storage to advanced instrumentation and smart composites, just to mention some examples. The flexibility of carbon nanostructures, in terms of possible chemical modifications, complex structural arrangements, and a high compatibility with a wide variety of substrates for controlled growth, has fueled their incorporation in novel devices as micro-supercapacitors, microbatteries, microsensors, etc., which can be integrated into microfluidic systems, wearable devices, point-of-care diagnostic systems, among other imaginative and advanced applications. This Special Issue of Micromachines is intended to showcase the latest progress at the interphase of carbon nanomaterials and their use for micro- and nanodevices development, reported as theoretical and/or experimental studies from an engineering perspective. We invite the scientific and technical community to submit original research manuscripts and comprehensive reviews on topics, such as carbon-based microdevices for energy storage or harvesting, micro/nano-sensors and actuators, flexible electronic devices, microfluidic systems, and any other topic related with the use of carbon-based nanomaterials for engineered functional micro and nanodevices. We believe this collection of articles would contribute to deepen the discussion on the use of advanced carbon nanomaterials for functional micro/nanodevices development.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
