Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diamond nanomaterials possess excellent properties, such as high hardness, a high elastic modulus, extremely high thermal conductivity, and chemical stability. In the field of advanced manufacturing, they are employed for the creation of high-speed cutting technologies in the aerospace, electronics, and mold industries, and are widely applied for machining difficult-to-machine materials.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews on the surface modification, properties, and practical applications of diamond nanomaterials. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Diamond nanomaterials and related nanomaterials;
- Surface modification;
- Synthesis;
- Functionalization;
- Nanoparticle applications;
- Graphene;
- Graphene oxide;
- Carbon nanotubes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
