Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been significant interest in crystalline composites embedded with nanoscale carbon reinforcements, such as carbon nanofiber, carbon nanotube, carbon nanoparticle, graphene, etc. The hybridization of carbon nanofillers with crystalline materials has resulted in improvements in the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of effective composites, and various application studies are underway based on the enhanced performances. The innovative characteristics of carbon nanofiller-reinforced crystalline nanocomposites is studied both experimentally and theoretically with the understanding of material mechanisms at the nano-to-macro levels. This Special Issue will collect manuscripts dealing with the recent advances and address future opportunities in the area of crystalline nanocomposites contacting carbon-nanofillers (carbon nano-composite materials). Interested researchers are invited to submit manuscripts on topics which include, but are not limited to the following:
- Carbon nanofillers
- Nano-composite materials
- Crystalline matrix
- Inorganic chemistry
- Synthesis and characterizations
- Functional properties
- Surface functionalization
- Filler dispersion
- Engineering applications
- Material simulations

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. Crystals 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 2100 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
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
