Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in nanomaterials have allowed for the synthesis of various submicron fibers with modified and/or new physical and chemical properties. The unmatched properties of such materials were further exploited by synthesizing bulk materials reinforced by 1-dimensional structures. This opened the door to complex materials with smart, responsive, and self-healing features. Additionally, this allowed us to understand the amazing structures and properties of some biological materials.
This issue focuses on the synthesis, characterization, modifications, and degradation (including processing) of 1-dimensional structures including new architectures based on the dispersion of 1-dimensional materials within various matrices. Theoretical models as well as computational advances are welcomed. Recent applications as well as potential developments are also considered. Materials and (nano)composites with advanced, enhanced, and novel mechanic, electric, magnetic, chemical, and biological features including materials with combined features such as ferroics and metamaterials embedding or having 1-dimensional features will be considered. Reports on the processing of such materials, including their behavior in extreme environments (such as the space environment), are welcomed.

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.
