Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The focus of current research in material science has shifted from less efficient single-component nanomaterials to the highly efficient, multifunctional, nano-composite materials. Carbon-based nanomaterials such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, graphene oxide, nanodiamonds and carbon-based quantum dots represent a new class of multifunctional and smart nanomaterials. They exhibit unique properties such as high surface area, tunable microstructure, adjustable bandgap, mechanical strength and thermal storage. The functionality of carbon-based materials can be further enhanced by coupling them with variety of other nanomaterials, generating nanocomposites with tunable properties for various applications.
Carbon-based nanocomposites have attracted extensive extension owing to their potential applications in multiple energy storage devices. The primary examples of energy devices include supercapacitors, rechargeable batteries, transistors, solar cells, diodes and data storage memory devices. In addition to this, the biocompatibility and ease of functionalization of carbon-based nanocomposites (CBNCs) make them important candidates in biomedical devices such as biosensors, biomedical imaging and drug delivery systems.
This Special Issue focuses on the emerging approaches in CBNCs and their application in the field of energy and biomedical devices. Submissions should span all aspects of research and development in this area.

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. Micromachines 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 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.
