Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on “Structured Nanocarbons and Their Application to Multifunctional Materials” in Processes aims to shed light on the diverse and evolving field of nanocarbons and their applications in the synthesis of multifunctional materials. Nanocarbons such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, carbon nanodots, spherical fullerenes, etc., have garnered significant attention due to their unique physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. These nanocarbons exhibit exceptional conductivity, high specific surface area, robust mechanical strength, and inherent stability, making them ideal candidates for various technological applications.
In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions from researchers around the world to further explore the synthesis, characterization, and utilization of structured nanocarbons in the preparation of multifunctional materials. We encourage submissions that delve into but not limited to novel synthesis techniques to engineer tailored nanocarbon structures, including hierarchical architectures, composites, and hybrids. Contributions focusing on the functionalization and modification of nanocarbons to enhance their specific properties for targeted applications are also highly encouraged.
Furthermore, papers investigating the multifunctionality of nanocarbons and their integration into various fields such as energy generation and storage, catalysis, sensing, biomedical engineering, and environmental remediation are welcomed. The Special Issue will serve as a platform to foster knowledge exchange, promote collaboration, and highlight the latest advancements in nanocarbons and their role in the development of multifunctional materials. Researchers and scientists from diverse disciplines are invited to contribute their innovative research findings, theoretical studies, and review articles to this Special Issue, aiming to advance our understanding and utilization of structured nanocarbons in multifunctional materials.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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).
