Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For almost 30 years now, graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNT) have attracted great attention in the polymer composites field, due to their high strength and stiffness, extraordinary electrical and thermal conductivities, large surface area enabling the efficient transfer of the aforementioned properties to the composite, and low density. The combination of these superb properties in a lightweight polymer may lead to multi-functional materials that are applicable in many industries, from transportation to recreation and even electrical appliances and communication-related applications. The technological advances in the last three decades now allow for mass production, and nanocarbon-based materials are finally emerging into the market.
However, research in this field is not yet finished. With new fabrication methods such as additive manufacturing, and new approaches to old but persisting problems such as dispersion, alignment, and scalability, the full potential of nanocarbon polymer composites is yet to be realized.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will attempt to cover the most recent advances in the mechanical and electrical properties of carbon nanomaterials/polymer composites, concerning not only the fabrication and characterization responsible for these properties, but also reports of their applications in functional and smart working devices, in both traditional and emerging fields.

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 2900 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.
