Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A wide range of outstanding and novel features of such carbon nanomaterials as graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon dots and fullerene have attracted the attention of researchers around the world. The covalent and non-covalent functionalization of these structures by various bio- objects, metal oxides, dichalcogenides, different chemical atoms and molecules, etc. provides parameters required for modern electric devices. In particular, unique mechanical properties of carbon nanocomposites make them an essential part of element base for stretchable and transparent electrodes for transistors, lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors, as well as electrochemical biosensors. Mathematical modeling of carbon nanostructures’ functionalization performed by present-day software helps to achieve the desired configuration of composite that provides optimum mechanical properties; for example, Young modulus, Poisson ratio, fracture strength during strain, crumbling, bending and nanoindentation.
Thus, the main focus of the forthcoming Special Issue “Modeling and Mechanics of Carbon-Based Nanostructures and Electronic Devices” is to present novel research and review articles devoted to modeling the mechanical carbon-based nanostructures and its application in various electronic devices.

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.
