Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials are a group of new materials with enormous potential. Nanomaterial research is recognized as a discipline of great importance, which will influence new ways of designing, producing and even living, generating a great impact on society. Carbon nanotubes represent an important class of nanomaterials. The latter are very small tubes, with a diameter as small as a nanometer whose wall is made up of carbon atoms that form a hexagonal mesh. Thanks to their peculiar chemical–physical characteristics, carbon nanotubes have proven to be extremely competitive in various sectors and application contexts and, in the future, they will increasingly influence the development of many sectors such as biology, medicine, materials sciences, and engineering. The extraordinary electronic, mechanical, optical, and chemical properties have stimulated extensive research activities around the world since their discovery in 1991. The applications of carbon nanotubes are truly vast: nanoelectronics, chemical sensors, biosensors, acoustic devices, artificial muscles, detectors, etc. Carbon nanotubes are highly promising in the sector of environmental protection, such as in water purification. This Special Issue invites the submission of original research contributions and reviews regarding recent advances in the development, production, characterization, and application of carbon nanotubes as well as new and promising nanomaterials.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
