Carbon-Based Nanomaterials and Their Various Applications
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is a dynamically developing field of science, due to the unique physical, chemical and biological properties of nanomaterials. Innovative solutions using nanotechnology have found application in diverse fields: in agricultural and food industries, where they improve the quality and safety of food, in medical and biological sciences, cosmetology and many other areas of our lives. Particular attention has been focused on carbon nanomaterials that have been successfully used in biotechnology, biomedicine and environmental applications. Carbon nanotubes and graphene-based sensors for water monitoring, detection of toxic metal ions and and environmental pollutants are already being used with great success. Nanotechnology has long been used in drug delivery and pharmaceuticals. Recently, nanotechnology entered the agricultural and food sectors, where it found application in smart delivery of nutrients, nanoencapsulation of nutraceuticals and bioseparation of proteins.
This Special Issue aims to report on the progress of ground-breaking research in the field of designing innovative carbon-based nanomaterials and applications of nanotechnology in diverse fields that are currently being developed, which is of high interest and shows great innovative potential.
