Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One-dimensional nanomaterials, such as nanowires and nanotubes, have attracted widespread attention in the last few years within the scientific community for their peculiar structural and mechanical properties, which are capable of achieving impressive performances with a high degree of tuneability.
The strongly size-dependent mechanical behaviour of these materials, such as their strength and elasticity, can differ significantly from their bulk counterparts, due to the extreme aspect ratios which can be obtained. The crystal structure also plays a paramount role in the overall material response, which can also be strongly affected by structural defects, such as dislocations and vacancies, acting as a nucleation point for mechanical stress, or dramatically changing the electronic behaviour of the nanomaterial.
Understanding the structural and mechanical properties of 1D nanomaterials is fundamental for a broad range of applications, i.e., nanocomposites, nanoelectronics, photocatalysis, energy storage, and biomedical devices.
The scope of this Special Issue, entitled “Structural and Mechanical Properties of 1-D Nanomaterials”, is to cover the state of the art of research on the production, characterization, and applications of 1D nanomaterials, focusing on their structural and mechanical properties and addressing the open challenges in this field.
As a renowned researcher in the field, I would like to invite you to participate in this Special Issue.
Dr. Armando Genco

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.
