Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon-based nanocomposites of different kinds have been designed for possible use in wide fields of applications: the aerospace and aeronautics industry, the automotive industry, civil engineering, electronics, medical equipment, and sport tools, just to mention a few. As the demand for composite applications is steadily on the rise, gaining insight on such advanced technologically innovative materials is critically important. Composite materials based on nanocarbon are interesting because they are a multifunctional material, joining different phases yielding unique and high-performance materials, in which allotropic forms of carbon (e.g., graphene, nanotubes, and fullerene) can be employed as a filler. This Special Issue of Materials entitled “Nanocarbon Based Composites” is devoted to covering a broad range of research activities, findings, and recent progress related to composites based on carbon nanomaterials. Emphasis is put on the multifunctional and emerging applications of such materials. Through this Special Issue, we encourage and invite researchers to contribute original research, as well as review articles, to this field of research.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis/fabrication of carbon-based nanocomposites.
- The characterization of carbon-based nanocomposites.
- The physical and chemical properties of carbon-based nanocomposites.
- The functionalization of carbon-based nanocomposites.
- Emerging applications of polymer carbon-based nanocomposites.

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.
