Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue in Nanomaterials entitled “Graphene-Enriched Nanobiomaterials” focuses on new development of biomaterials enriched/functionalized with or based on graphene or graphene derivatives for applications in the biomedical field. The concept of graphene can be extended to the entire family of graphene and, therefore, carbon-based structures, such as carbon nanotubes, carbon nano-onions, or graphene quantum dots, to name but a few, are equally included.
Graphene and its derivatives have emerged in the last fifteen years as impressive nanostructures. Their exceptional properties, such as extraordinary strength, high flexibility, high aspect ratio, high thermal, and electrical conductivity, have been favorably exploited to improve the features of the materials. Furthermore, functionalized or properly treated graphene, for example, graphene oxide, owing to its properties such as easy high-quality production, realistically simple scaling-up, solubility and biocompatibility tuning depending on the chosen functionalization, has recently emerged as a preferential additive for surface modification or a building block for the preparation of novel nanobiomaterials.
This Special Issue will highlight recent ideas and future perspectives concerning graphene-enriched nanobiomaterials, ranging from their physico-chemical structure investigation up to their use in advanced biomedical applications. Specifically, original research or review articles should investigate and discuss aspects such as novel functionalization, biomedical design, biomaterial engineering, nanofabrication, and novel applications of graphene-enriched or graphene-based nanobiomaterials.

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.
