Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past several years, the development of various novel nanomaterials has been extensively researched for a range of emerging microelectronic technologies and optoelectronic applications. Particularly, new classes of carbon-based low-dimensional nanomaterials in non-conventional device architectures, such as zero-dimensional fullerenes, one-dimensional carbon-nanotubes, and two-dimensional graphene, have consistently attracted great attention due to their outstanding electrical and physical characteristics, such as high carrier mobility, good chemical and thermal stability, and excellent mechanical durability, in addition to their high-throughput production capabilities such as low-cost, large-area, and solution-processability.
In nanometer-scale materials, electronic performances and functionalities are strongly dependent on their atomic structural conformation and interface interactions with other materials. As a result, significant advances in producing high-purity carbon nanomaterials have been explored to offer remarkable capabilities of more compact electronic systems with minimal feature size and well-controlled defect density of states. In addition, bioinspired wearable sensor electronics based on carbon nanomaterials have also been introduced for conformal applications, due to their environmentally friendly and mechanical flexible appearance, including good optoelectronic properties. Therefore, the integration of carbon nanomaterials with printable and flexible platforms has promoted implementation in mechanically compliant and state-of-the-art multi-functional systems. We anticipate that carbon nanomaterials open a facile route to realize new prospects for electronic and optoelectronic applications.

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.
