Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) such as graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, and nanofibers possess excellent chemical, physical, and biological properties, which render them very promising for a wide range of bioengineering applications: tissue engineering, drug/gene delivery, anticancer therapy, stem cell differentiation, agriculture engineering, photodynamic therapy, biosensors, etc. Furthermore, carbon nanotechnology has emerged as an alternative promising antimicrobial strategy against clinically relevant multidrug-resistant pathogens. Thus, most recent studies have demonstrated high antimicrobial activity and noncytotoxicity of CNMs. In this regard, CNMs in pure form, functionalized or in combination with other materials such as polymers can be exploited to produce a broad range of advanced nano- and macrobiomaterials with enhanced properties in terms of mechanical, electrical, and thermal performance, water sorption/diffusion, wettability, antimicrobial activity, and cell adhesion and proliferation.
In this context, we invite authors to submit original research articles, communications and reviews for this Special Issue of C—Journal of Carbon Research, “Carbon Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites in Bioengineering & Chemical Engineering”, which is focused on all the advances in this research field.

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. C is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
