Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-dimensional carbon materials and two-dimensional nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and MXene, have become the key building blocks of the next-generation polymer composites. Their applications have expanded from traditional structural fields to emerging high-tech areas such as aerospace lightweight structures, new energy vehicles, flexible electronics, and advanced manufacturing. This has driven continuous progress in surface modification techniques, multi-scale interface engineering, and preparation processes for low-dimensional material-enhanced polymer composites, giving them excellent mechanical properties, high-strength interface bonding forces, and multifunctional integration characteristics. At the same time, the increasing demand for high-performance, lightweight structural materials in key engineering fields has further accelerated research on the modification of low-dimensional materials and the optimization of composite interfaces, thereby promoting the development of more reliable and higher-strength carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites.
This Special Issue will present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the design, fabrication, surface modification, interface engineering, and performance optimization of low-dimensional materials-reinforced polymer composites.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel strategies for surface functionalization and multi-scale hierarchical structure construction on carbon fibers using 2D/carbon nanomaterials;
- Interfacial interaction mechanisms and structure–property relationships in carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composites;
- Synergistic reinforcement effects of low-dimensional carbon materials (e.g., CNTs, graphene, GO, MXene) in polymer matrices;
- Advanced characterization techniques for interfacial microstructure, bonding strength, and failure behavior of composites;
- Molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical modeling of composite interfaces;
- Scalable fabrication processes and industrial applications of high-performance low-dimensional material-based composites;
- Multifunctional properties of low-dimensional materials-enhanced polymer composites;
- Surface modification of other fibrous reinforcements and their composite interface performance.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
