Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene is a 2D material of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice. Due to its excellent properties, such as high electrical and thermal conductivities, high strength and flexibility, transparency, and low density, it has been proposed as an ideal candidate for a great number of applications. However, some applications require graphene-based materials with different properties than graphene, such as good water solubility, or tunable band gap, among others. Graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxides are the most studied derivatives, however, graphene quantum dots, doped graphene with electron-deficient or electron-rich atoms, hybrid nanostructures based on graphene have aroused great interest in recent years. Understanding the properties of the graphene-based nanomaterials is crucial for developing cutting-edge applications in critical areas such as health and energy.
This Special Issue has the purpose of addressing the recent fundamental and applied aspects used in the design of new materials based on graphene to solve important challenges in advanced applications.

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. Coatings 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
