Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Micromachines focusing on “Carbon Nanotube-Based Devices”.

Carbon nanotubes have gained increasing research interests in recent years due to its high aspect ratio, elastic modulus, tensile strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. Utilizing the above advantages of carbon nanotube can yield high-performance devices in a wide scope of research areas. With the rapid development of nanotechnologies, carbon nanotubes are now ready to further unlock the full potential of various devices including but not limited to energy storage devices, energy harvesting devices, sensors, and actuators.

This Special Issue is dedicated to presenting cutting-edge research on carbon nanotube-based devices at both the micro- and macro-scales. Particular emphasis is placed on aspects related to the role of carbon nanotubes in enhancing the performances of corresponding devices.

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.

In the present work, the effects on water transport due to the orientation of the layer in the multilayered porous graphene and the different patterns formed when the layer is oriented to some degrees are studied for both circular and non-circular pore configurations. Interestingly, the five-layered graphene membrane with a layer separation of 3.5 Å used in this study shows that the water transport through multilayered porous graphene can be augmented by introducing an angle to certain layers of the multilayered membrane system.

Carbon-nanotube (CNT) is a promising material owing to its compelling mechanical, thermal and electrical properties and has been applied in a broad variety of fields such as composite, fiber, film and microelectronic. Although the introductions of CNT have brought huge improvement for many applications, these properties of macrostructures prepared by CNTs still cannot meet those of individual CNT. Disordered alignment of CNTs in the matrix results in degradation of performance and hinders further application. Nowadays, quantities of methods are being researched to realize alignments of CNTs. In this paper, we introduce the application of CNTs and review some typical pathways for vertical and horizontal alignment, including chemical vapor disposition, vertical self-assembly, external force, film assisted, electric field, magnetic field and printing. Besides that, advantages and disadvantages of specific methods are also discussed. We believe that these efforts will contribute to further understanding the nature of aligned CNT and generating more effective ideas to the relevant workers. Full article
