Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon-based materials not only have a long history of human use, but have also brought forth scientific and technological breakthroughs in the past few decades, as exemplified by fullerenes and graphene. Beyond their bulk applications such as carbon fiber for composites and graphite for batteries, it is foreseeable that many future applications of the carbon-based materials, such as carbon nanotubes for sensing and diamond for quantum computing, will focus on miniaturization and multifunctionalization. This largely hinges on the ability of the micropatterning of the carbon-based nanomaterials, at the micrometer or even nanometer scales. Recent years have seen tremendous progress in integrating micropatterning and carbon-based nanomaterials for building a wide range of functional devices. Intended to expose our readers to the state-of-the-art of this fast-growing field, this Special Issue seeks research articles or reviews on the development of novel techniques, basic studies on scientific understanding, conceptual or practical demonstrations of new applications of micropatterning of carbon-based nanomaterials, and beyond. We look forward to and welcome your contributions to this Special Issue.

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.
