Carbon Nanocomposites: Synthesis, Properties and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Carbon nanomaterials, mainly composed of sp² and sp³, are hybridized carbon atoms regulated into a monolithic network. Because of their unique structure and size, they are endowed with extraordinary mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, adsorption, and other significant properties that makes them ideal. In particular, designing and preparing carbon nanocomposites is an effective way to further improve the application performance of carbon nanomaterials and expand their application fields. Recently, combined with carbon nanomaterials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, a variety of new methods for the synthesis of functional carbon nanocomposites have been developed, and the applications of these materials in the fields of mechanical properties, adsorption, energy storage, and catalysis have been explored.

We invite authors to contribute to this Special Issue with original research articles and comprehensive review articles focusing on the latest theoretical development and practical application of carbon nanocomposites in synthesis and properties. The goal of this Special Issue is to attract academic and industrial researchers to further improve the properties of existing carbon nanocomposites and propose new ideas for future applications and new technologies through continuous in-depth research on existing carbon nanocomposites.

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-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.
