Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dynamic development of sciences and rapid technological progress have been enabled by the usage of modern materials based on the unique chemical and structural properties of compounds applied in their synthesis. Carbon-based nanomaterials and topological polymers have received special attention, both in terms of the great possibilities of creating and modelling their structure and properties, and the wide range of applications in areas such as medicine (diagnostics and therapy), pharmacy (drug delivery systems), analytics (biomapping, biosensors, imaging), nanotechnology, nanoengineering, and micromechanics.
Among carbon-based nanomaterials, graphene, quantum dots, and nanodiamonds—as well as well-known fullerenes, nanotubes, porous and activated carbons, and all their derivatives—still attract significant interest. The great diversity of topological polymers includes linear, branched, cyclic and other spatial architecture materials as a result of special molecules used in their synthesis.
The materials of both the first and the second group can be classified as multifunctional materials with excellent properties and wide application perspectives.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue, which will be devoted to the synthesis, characterization, and possible applications of these modern materials. Full papers, reviews, and communications covering recent advances in preparation, characterization, and applications of carbon-based nanomaterials, as well as topological polymers and other functional materials, are welcome.

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. Materials 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 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.
