Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes have lately attracted huge interest among the scientific community due to their vast potential for a broad number of applications owing to their large specific surface area, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and outstanding mechanical properties. The combination of carbon nanotubes with other materials such as metals or polymeric matrices (i.e., thermoplastics, epoxies, conducting polymers, biopolymers, etc.) leads to new nanocomposites with improved structural and functional properties due to synergistic effects, with applications in a variety of fields, such as in electronics, energy storage, automobiles, aerospace engineering, biomedicine, and so forth.
This Special Issue is planned to bring together a number of original papers and reviews covering all aspects related to the design, synthesis, preparation, and characterization of composites based on carbon nanotubes. Both theoretical and experimental papers are welcomed.
Prof. Dr. Ana María Díez-Pascual
Guest Editor
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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
