Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the forthcoming Special Issue “Synthesis, Modeling and Characterization of Graphene, Graphene based Nanocomposites and Nanostructured Materials” of the “Materials” MDPI Journal.

In the past few years, graphene, graphene-based nanomaterials and nanostructured materials have attracted ever-growing interest, thanks to their outstanding electrical, thermal, mechanical, electromechanical and electromagnetic properties. Therefore, these materials are becoming increasingly important due to their electrical, electromagnetic and electromechanical applications.

This Special Issue is aimed to present recent advances in the development of synthesis, modeling and characterization techniques of graphene, graphene-based nanomaterials and nanostructured materials.

Suggested topics to be covered in this Special Issue include:

  • Synthesis/characterization/modeling of graphene, graphene-based nanomaterials and nanostructured materials
  • Graphene, graphene-based nanomaterials and nanostructured materials for electrical and electromechanical applications
  • Graphene, graphene-based nanomaterials and nanostructured materials for the production of innovative and smart electromagnetic shielding and absorbing screens

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.

Overheating effect is a crucial issue in different fields. Thermally conductive polymer-based heat sinks, with lightweight and moldability features as well as high-performance and reliability, are promising candidates in solving such inconvenience. The present work deals with the experimental evaluation of the temperature effect on the thermophysical properties of nanocomposites made with polylactic acid (PLA) reinforced with two different weight percentages (3 and 6 wt%) of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Thermal conductivity and diffusivity, as well as specific heat capacity, are measured in the temperature range between 298.15 and 373.15 K. At the lowest temperature (298.15 K), an improvement of 171% is observed for the thermal conductivity compared to the unfilled matrix due to the addition of 6 wt% of GNPs, whereas at the highest temperature (372.15 K) such enhancement is about of 155%. Some of the most important mechanical properties, mainly hardness and Young’s modulus, maximum flexural stress, and tangent modulus of elasticity, are also evaluated as a function of the GNPs content. Moreover, thermal simulations based on the finite element method (FEM) have been carried out to predict the thermal performance of the investigated nanocomposites in view of their practical use in thermal applications. Results seem quite suitable in this regard. Full article

Graphene and its derivatives have attracted scientists’ interest due to their exceptional properties, making them alluring candidates for multiple applications. However, still little is known about the properties of as-obtained graphene derivatives during long-term storage. The aim of this study was to check whether or not 14 months of storage time impacts graphene oxide flakes’ suspension purity. Complementary micro and nanoscale characterization techniques (SEM, AFM, EDS, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and elemental combustion analysis) were implemented for a detailed description of the topography and chemical properties of graphene oxide flakes. The final step was pH evaluation of as-obtained and aged samples. Our findings show that purified flakes sustained their purity over 14 months of storage. Full article
