Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanotechnology have galvanized scientific innovation due to their unique physical, chemical, and electrical properties. Research on carbon nanotubes and nanotechnology is poised for significant growth, with ongoing studies related to advanced materials, the energy sector, environmental applications, electronics, and biomedical innovations being performed. Continued research and development efforts will result in the low-cost mass production of CNTs and alleviate the health safety concerns associated with them, especially for biomedical uses. This will enable the widespread application of CNTs.
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences aims to present research papers that highlight recent research and the future application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanotechnology. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- The synthesis, functionalization, and advanced characterization of nanomaterials;
- The processing of nanocomposite materials;
- The development of next-generation batteries;
- Nanotechnology in supercapacitors;
- Nanomaterials for carbon capture application;
- Carbon nanotubes in water and air purification systems;
- Advanced nanomaterials and fabrication techniques for flexible electronics;
- The impact and future scope of nanotechnology on the semiconductor industry;
- Advancements in nanotechnology in tissue engineering;
- Nanosensors;
- Research on the high-volume and low-cost production of carbon nanotubes;
- Addressing the safety and toxicity of carbon 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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
