Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon materials have recently attracted much attention in microwave absorption materials due to their light characteristics, strong chemical resistance and adjustable microstructures. However, the dielectric constant of pure carbon material is often too high, leading to poor impedance matching and weak microwave absorption. With the aim of solving the above limitations, much research focuses on developing carbon-based composites, in which the synergistic effects of dielectric loss and magnetic loss promote impedance matching, resulting in outstanding microwave absorption.
This Special Issue will attempt to cover the recent advances in the rational design of carbon-based composites and their microwave absorption, concerning not only the fabrication processes, the materials employed (carbon nanotubes, graphene, MOF-derived carbon, etc.), and special microstructures (porous structures, core/yolk-shell structures, hollow structures, 3D structures, etc.) but especially reports of their practical application in microwave absorption.

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.
