Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon and non-carbon nanotubes offer numerous possibilities for constructing multifunctional electromechanical, electronic, and optical nanodevices. Moreover, these one-dimensional nanostructures can be advantageous to enhance the manufacturing quality of both industrial machinery and equipment components. The outstanding physical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, which can be used in tools and industrial devices, allow improving their performance and reducing their weight. Non-carbon nanotubes, being wide bandgap semiconductors or dielectrics, have promising applications as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), field effect transistors, sensors, and biodetectors. Since the stability and productivity of the nano-devices are strongly dependent on the structural, physical, and mechanical properties of the constituents, experimental and theoretical (numerical and analytical) studies toward the characterization of carbon and non-carbon nanotubes properties are required.
The aim of this Special Issue is to contribute to knowledge toward the structural, physical, and mechanical properties of carbon and non-carbon nanotubes, helping to discover their novel applications and building new devices for health, security, and biotechnology needs.
Recent achievements with respect to synthesis, numerical modeling, and experimental and theoretical characterization of structure, electronical, optical, and mechanical properties of carbon and non-carbon nanotubes are considered in this Special Issue.

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.
