Nanofabrication and Nanomanipulation in Graphene

Dear Colleagues,

The nanofabrication and manipulation of matter at the nanoscale are at the core of all modern technological advances. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches are actively being developed to gain unprecedented dimensional accuracy and design variability. When the full potential is realized, one can expect to reach not only morphological control, but also the molecular or even atomic-level tuning of nanostructured chemical compositions. In this regard, graphene represents an ideal testbed due to its diverse chemical functionalization, outstanding performance, and industrial potential.

This Special Issue plans to present a cross-section through current research regarding nanofabrication and nanomanipulation in graphene, welcoming articles in the format of full papers, communications, and reviews. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Nanofabrication and nanopatterning of graphene-based materials;
• Nanostructured chemical functionalization of graphene surfaces (covalent or supramolecular);
• Preparation of graphene heterostructures;
• Nanomanipulation of graphene sheets and flakes;
• Fabrication and testing of graphene-based micro-/nano electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS);
• Graphene-based metasurfaces.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
