Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon nanocomposites are a new type of material which are composed of carbon nanotubes, carbon nanoparticles, and other nanoscale carbon materials. Carbon nanocomposites come in various forms and have a wide variety of types, such as carbon nanofiber, which can be used both as short fibers and continuous long fibers and their woven fabrics. With the characteristics of low density, high strength, high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, and high chemical stability, carbon nanocomposites have a wide range of applications.
The surface modification of carbon nanocomposites is a hot research field. Through surface modification, the modified materials can obtain new interface and electronic properties, thereby improving their performance in different application systems, such as optoelectronic materials, drug and gene delivery systems, chemical or biosensors, etc. Various surface modification methods have been developed, including chemical methods, mechanochemical methods, electrochemical methods, etc., to activate the carbon surface and subsequently interact with the polymer through covalent bonds or noncovalent interactions.
This Special Issue aims to collect the latest research papers on the surface modification methods of novel carbon nanocomposites, as well as their advanced performance after modification. Research articles, reviews, and communications related to this topic are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
