Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The new technologies of carbon-based nanostructure synthesis have seen a huge growth in their applications in different fields of science, including biomedicine. The following applications are in great demand:
- Tissue engineering and one of its branches, developing an application of biopolymer implants based on graphene/nanotube 3D/2D-networks;
- Gas multisensor chips designed on the basis of multilayer functionalized graphene structures (carbonylated, carboxylated, aminated graphene, etc.) with immobilized peptides and aptamers sensitive to the adsorption of various gas analytes;
- Biosensors based on multilayer heterostructures, including functionalized graphene with coordination-bound lanthanides (Eu, Sc, etc.) and nanocrystals of transition metal oxides (ZnO, SnO2, etc.);
- Personalized medicine, implying smart drug delivery using fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and its composites.

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.
